Well, I hopped off the plane in YVR…and boy is it amazing. Flying in over the opening ceremonies was incredible—we could see the fireworks and the spotlights going like crazy. Making our way through the airport was an experience in itself…in a good way! Brad would have loved this—so many natural materials, lots of glass…amazing. It was pretty cool to watch the ceremonies while waiting for our bags knowing that they were taking place only a short distance away. I exchanged some money and got my ticket for the charter bus up to Whistler….and can't wait to take that trip during the day--the Sea to Sky Highway was pretty amazing, even in the dark! Driving through downtown Vancouver was awesome--I can honestly say that this is one of the coolest cities I've ever seen. Being able to see the actual stadium over the bridge was incredible...I only wish I had more time to spend downtown!
I got into Whistler about 1am PST...and boy was I tired. Even at that hour of the night, things were alive--everyone I've met is so nice...and I can't wait to get out in the mountain air and see the sights.
Since the men's downhill event was postponed this morning, we have a little bit of free time before we have to get the SNOW house ready for the Patron party tonight...I know--it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it. ;-) Staying in the condo with us is France Lessard from Rossignol--thanks for the cute Rossi t-shirt, France!--and Hannah Hardaway, former Olympian herself. She modestly told us she placed 5th in the women's mogul event in Salt Lake City--needless to say, the conversation over coffee this morning was pretty amazing!! Barb, my publisher, and Joan texted me a picture of them last night at the opening ceremonies, and they'll be here shortly.
I've got my WiFi set up and I'm ready to keep y'all posted!! No pics yet...stay tuned!!
