The Greatest Show on Earth.....

We thought this would be the best & easiest way to keep all our family & friends up to date on our day to day happenings in Whistler. We'll try to make a post each day, however we're not going to fool ourselves. We're not young fella's any more and the days are going to be long. But we'll try our best to include as many of the highlights of our adventure of a lifetime as often as possible.

The Mona Lisa

It still amazes me how some people always expect more. The accommodations for the Olympic workforce in the Whistler Athletes Village location are in two separate locations. One just North of Whistler in hotels & the other South in Squamish aboard a cruise ship the Mona Lisa. Each are an hour bus trip to the village.

I'm on the ship. Although it is 44 years old, it is in fact a fully functioning cruise liner. With the exception of entertainment & a filled pool, we're afforded all the other amenities such as wonderful buffet meals with linen, china & silver. Beverages are served & dishes area cleared. The bars are open, as is the fitness room (no, you won't find me there) and access to computers with free internet. Even our cabins are attended to daily. Sure, they're slightly small & we have to share them with 2 or 3 strangers who quickly become new friends. All that & we get the privilege of working at the Olympics.

None the less there's always someone expects more.

Olympic FSM Mike ;-)
