Soon to be on my way

Well, after a somewhat stressful week wondering if we'd even be able to fly out of here - because of the 50 inches of snow! - everything looks good. We are due to fly out in the morning and be in Vancouver by dinner.

I'm not one to get excited about things, but I'm defiantly looking forwards to this. It probably won't be until the first event we're at live that things will feel real.

My plan is to update my posts here in the evenings when we get back from our events or other things that are fun or interesting on the days off. We have 6 events to see. There was a 7th but it's on the last day and Chloe wasn't able to stay that long. Sorry Men's 50km x-Country ski. Instead I'm giving the ticket to our awesome friends who are letting us stay with them in Vancouver!

I can't say I look forwards to the 3hr (each way) bus rides to Whistler, but everyone has to deal with it.

All packed up, going carry-on style only! I don't want to deal with extra bags and the crazy that I'm sure everything at the airports is going to be. Lets us skip the lines to check-in and we also don't have to worry about lost luggage. We were thinking of bringing our ski/snowboard gear, but even though the hills are open (yep-whistler is open), we still have to take a bus etc. At an estimated $200 each for a day at whistler during the olympics, we decided it's not worth the one day we'd end up going. If anything, maybe a trip down to Mt. Baker, and for the $50 I'll just rent.

Well, that's all for my first entry. See you at the Olympics!
