You do have four years to make friends with someone in Vancouver who can house you.


And I think the London logo is ICK!!! I think they should have gone with something like this BBC reader submission.

LOL - if I get the tickets, I should know by mid-2009 at the latest I think, and I'll definitely plan for the housing right away. Plus I'll be traveling with another adult and a small child, which would make couch surfing a little more difficult than it if were just me. I'll just save up my moolah and keep my fingers crossed on both the tickets and hotels. I know CoSport probably sells everything included packages... I hope... I hope...

I liked the London bid logo that the crazy neon thing replaced just fine:

Correction: two years. Vancouver is in 2010.

I'm trying to decide what I'm going to request this weekend! whee!

Got my tickets. I ended up getting a hospitality package so I didn't have to deal with finding a hotel myself.

I'm going to the ice dancing original Dance and ice dancing free dance (the final two of the three stages, medals awarded after free dance) and the women's short program figure skating. soooooo excited. That's one event/day, which I think will be plenty seeing as I will be carting a young child around with me. Also didn't want to deal with outdoor venues + a child. I might try to pick up some medal ceremony tickets though. I like the idea of one event/day overall, though, because it means I can do plenty of tourism/taking in the experience.

Really, really, really, really frickin' excited about this one.
