We're planning on going to the 2010 Winter Olympic games, which will be held in Vancouver, BC, only 140 miles from us. Tickets will be available to request this Friday, October 3. Thankfully the tickets are not first-come-first-served, it's more like a lottery system. I'm interested in seeing the opening ceremonies, figure skating, speed skating, and hockey. Medal events cost more too, so it will be difficult to decide which events are most important to us. And I guess it depends on which tickets we are able to reserve depending on demand. But anyway, I'm looking forward to hopefully going to a few events and spending time in Vancouver.
