5 days to go

We're trying to get all of our ducks in a row before we take off. Today we all got together and started making some lists of things we need to do.  It's going to be a busy few days and we don't want to forget anything. Last week, we did get our Olympic tickets for the events that we'll be attending.

We're still short two Swimming tickets but I think we'll do without them. Our plan is for me to take one of the kids to the event. Jill and the other one will just stay in the Olympic Park. There are things that they can do and it looks like they might be able to watch the event on one of the big screens that they'll have there. I did try and get two tickets last night on Ebay but was unsuccessful. After thinking about it and watching this video, we just decided that we didn't want to spend so much money for tickets that would end up being so far from the actual pool. Our seats are going to be on the far side by diving boards, way up towards the top. The only way we'll try and get a couple more tickets would be if we could purchase them at about the face value.

We're going to leave Friday morning and drive to Seattle, leave our car at a park and ride lot, and then head to the airport. Our flight leaves about 6:45 PM.
