So Who's Going to the London Games?

Anyone travelling to London for the Games (family members, fans)?
Beach Volleyball will rock with its location in the historic district in London.

In Nov. I was there at the spot where the Beach VB will be played. But I won't be there for the games.

Went to the Olympics in LA, Atlanta, and Salt Lake (winter). We seriously considered going this year, as London is one of our favorite places, but holy cow, the crowds, even without the Olympics! Have a great time, those who go.

Some great memories from those Olympic trips. Carl Lewis, crazy Brazil volleyball fans, 7'2" Chinese woman basketball player, girl from some small country finishing at least 30 seconds behind the rest of the 400 hurdle field but thrilled to compete, how tall high platform is in diving (yikes), buying tickets to the gymnastics final from a scalper for $800 (we were caught up in the excitement), etc, etc. We only went to one event in Salt Lake-ski jumping. Lots of standing around in the cold, but exciting none-the-less.

I will have both DVR's set and the schedule laminated on my fridge!

Planning on it...

It's been a while since I've logged on. Glad to be back.

I'm going!!

Schweet! Should be great times. For those considering it, give some more thought. Priceline may be a great airline ticket buying option, and previously held hotel rooms are now opening-up.
