Vancouver 2010... Here we come!

Gus and I bought tickets to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics yesterday! I'm super excited, despite the fact that I wasn't able to get speed skating or ski jumping. The events we got are Women's Aerials Alpine Skiing, Mens/Womens Finals of Skeleton (think face first luge), Men's curling, and Men's Hockey Sweden vs. Finland. Pretty much adds up to one event per day so we can make sure to get places on time. We'll be heading up there on Thursday, February 18, 2010 and returning to the great U.S. the following Monday. We figured, "How often are we going to live this close?"

Next dilemma? Where to stay...

Not many of the hotels are taking reservations for February yet and most of the house/condo/vacation rentals are $400/night at the cheapest. Some are upwards of $5,000... Hopefully, some of the hotels will be reasonable (<$150 a night too much to ask?) but if not... sigh. We're either thinking of staying an hour or two outside of the city and commuting in each day or possibly renting an RV.

Just wanted to share my fun news and next adventure with you all! Tonight, we are going out to celebrate Gus' 28th birthday. Getting the gang together at the Hale's Brewery to enjoy some local beer and good fun. Don't forget to send him your wishes on Sunday.

Happy Friday!
