We should all go to Canada together. I enjoy the winter Olympics. I just hope SARS is gone by then...even though it was Toronto and not Vancouver.

We could rent a bus. The Storm2K Mobile. :D ;)

SARS was more of a problem in Toronto, not Vancouver.

As I said in the other "2010 Olympic" thread (in the "Storm2K Sports Center")... this was a good pick. Canada hasn't had the Olympics for awhile.

I like them too... :D

I'm not going to Canada, so you don't have to stop in Topeka on your Storm2K mobile. ;)

I can't believe it is actually going to be held there after the way they treated Americans in that country because of the war with Iraq. They even booed pee wee baseball players. They booed our National Anthem as well. So no, I am not happy with THAT decision.

They may have never handled the Olympics before and they darn sure haven't earned that right now either.

Then our US team needs our support. C'mon Lindaloo. I want you to come. And it has nothing to do with you possibly having connections to getting us VIP tickets. ;)

I think Vancouver is a terrific location... geographically in a beautiful location. Glad to see they will be in north America.

By that time I will be able to get a senior discount!

Vancouver? That's fabulous....maybe?

Why?? Because I "might" be there rooting on a member of my family. Let's see...Maddie will be nine years old in January 2004, so in February 2010 she'll be 15. Don't they allow 15 year old downhill skier prodigy's on the U.S. Olympic Women's Ski team?? :D

If so Perry we will be there with bells on!!!

I want to go so bad... I was so tempted to go when it was in Salt Lake City, but alas I didn't. :(

That is why it is important that we load up the Storm2K Mobile and go north. :lol:
