I'm glad for Rio - I think it'll be a very cool location for the games.

Yeah, and those of us who live just across the border in Seattle found out a long time ago that going to the Vancouver Olympics (less than 3 hours drive away) was either going to be impossible (due to lack of tickets available to the general non-Canadian public, or lack of hotel rooms) or prohibitively expensive. It sucks. A lot of us in Washington state were so excited when we found out the Olympics would be in our back yard, but it turns out most of us won't be able to go.
