2 Weeks–Vancouver Here We Come!
We’re down to the last few milestones before we set off on our Vancouver 2010 Olympic trip which is now less than TWO weeks away!!!!!!
Sorry about the blog neglect lately but it was a BUSY January so the “brevity” of Twitter led to it being my most used outlet.
Vancouver 2010 Tickets are HERE!
I thought reality hit home yesterday when the countdown to Vancouver 2010 hit the one-month mark until the Opening Ceremonies. However, reality that the Games are drawing near truly hit a new plane today when our tickets arrived!!! It’s hard to believe that we first embarked on piecing together this experience of a lifetime back in October 2008–yes 2008–when we placed our first order for the ticket lottery. Now with less than one-month until the 21st Winter Olympic Games get underway the arrival of these rather brilliant and beautiful looking tickets really symbolizes the end of the “planning our trip” and shifts us into intense excitement and anticipation for the lifetime experience to come…

Vancouver 2010: Thornbury Torch Relay Photos
We took in the Vancouver 2010 Torch Relay this morning as it passed through Thornbury, Ontario on a wintery, chilly morning. With snow squalls rolling through and a wind chill of -20C we bundled up our munchkins and took up shop on Hwy 26 to become part of the epic Torch Relay on the way to Vancouver 2010.
With only 49 days left until we find ourselves actually in Vancouver for the Games, this morning’s torch relay truly stoked the fire of our own excitement and anticipation!!!
Merry Christmas!
Wishing everyone a wonderful and joyous Christmas with your family and friends!!!
Vancouver 2010 Resale Site WORKS!
With the various purchasing phases for Vancouver 2010 tickets we ended up with a conflict that overlapped a Women’s Play-off Round hockey game with the Speed Skating tickets we picked up in the June Phase II sale. With this known overlap I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Vancouver 2010 long-promised resale site and alas with it’s launch today we managed to sell the hockey tickets in less than 5 hours.
Only issue I have with the site is that we have to wait until possibly the end of April 2010 to actually get paid for tickets we sold…
I also tried to sell tickets for one of the Victory Ceremonies–but with VANOC still left with their own inventory I wasn’t allowed to offer these for resale yet…
T-Minus 2 Months!
Two Months from today we’re in Vancouver taking in our first Olympic event–Men’s Curling! Richard & Kristin will be watching the epic battle between Finland and China in Women’s Hockey…
Lululemon “Olympic” Apparel???
Hats off to Lululemon on their cheeky new lineup known as the “Cool Sporting Event That Takes Place in British Columbia Between 2009 & 2011 Edition”. Apparently the Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee (VANOC) is none too pleased with homegrown Lulu…
