Getting Ready To Go

I'll be leaving this coming Sunday for a flight to Vancouver then a bus trip up to Whistler . While I'll be on the Sea-to-Sky Highway I won't really see much then. It will make for a long evening then an early morning start on the Monday with a meeting, then uniforms, and accreditation. More training will follow on Tuesday and Wednesday then we start for real on Thursday. I'll be initially assigned to the Athlete's Village then some days at the cross country venue.


You can see from the photo that Vancouver itself is ready ..  










I'll be staying at a place called Nita Lake Lodge - looks pretty nice..... It's near Whistler Creekside and I believe close to the downhill events. In spite of the weather there is snow . It's also a few minutes away from the main Whistler Village.


This is also the last of the photos taken by some one else - I'll be using my own camera after this for adding shots. The regularity of future updates will depend on my internet connection , my energy levels, and having new and interesting things to say. I won't be able to mention the athletes I meet through my duties but you never know who I'll see otherwise. I also won't be talking about how much fun we expect to have because as someone pointed out "what happens in Whistler,stays in Whistler".
