"In Vancouver, B.C., Whistler, Canada. It isn't that far away in miles."

Not from Seattle, but Miami is another story.

Yeah, it's about a 5 hour drive for me, but I'm going to the 2010 winter games anyway. Never been to the Olympics before. I want to go at least once in my life, and I doubt they will get any closer to where I live.

In August 2001 we visited BC.

Vancouver is a beautiful city. Equally worthwhile is Victoria, on Vancouver Island. Getting there by ferry is half the fun.

The only time that I will considering visiting of watching the Olympics is when they have American Football..

"the Alpine events will be in the Winter wonderland of Whistler just a few miles away"

We took the road from Vancouver to Whistler two years ago. Massive amounts of traffic, snail's pace interspersed with road maniacs, and absolutely hair raising. The locals promised the road would be improved by 2010.

But Whistler is quite beautiful if you survive the commute.

I've skied Whistler. It's too closed in, too much of a bottle neck, at the bottom.
