To Go or Not to Go, That is the Question

Will be checking out websites, bulletins and emails to learn about the pros and cons of heading toward the Vancouver Olympics of 2010.

Negative Vancouver is cold.
Positive Vancouver is very close to our new family baby.
Negative Vancouver is not nearly as inexpensive as Beijing!
Positive Vancouver is not nearly as far away as Beijing!

Vancouver 2010

Teaching from September to June enabled me to have free summers for the Summer games. Salt Lake City, Utah was only a ten hour drive from my home in California. Stayed in Park City in 2001 to attend the Sundance Film Festival and during that time I scouted a bit for 2002. Knew a year prior to the Olympics that it was a good possibility.

I took my children to the World Expo in 1984, it was mid-summer, warm and delightful. Hmmm Vancouver is cold in February.

To go or not to go, that is the question!
