We Are Smurfs!
Beadraich - The locals have taken to calling all of the volunteers smurfs because of our bright blue uniforms. We've embraced it and discovered the ritual of the day is to look for lonely looking smurfs and introduce yourself. We've already met Brenda from Collingwood and Karen from Halifax. And people from Edmonton, Pemberton, Seattle and Kitchener have all made our day one of meeting people.
As we were first sitting on the "Splendour of the Seas" in Venice a few years ago, Woodsy turned to me and asked "I wonder who will become our friends on this cruise". As I sit in the Venue Specific Training room I am left to wonder the same thing.

Our Olympic Experience Companion
Woodsy - We have mentioned our travelling companion in passing but we haven't introduced her yet. Today is her premiere!! Graydon is her blogger name. She is a friend of mine, initially meeting at work. She has moved onto greener pastures and we have maintained our friendship. Graydon's job at the Olympics is Concierge at the Athlete's Village. She has been teased that she will be handing out condoms! I'm sure you will be hearing more from Graydon during our adventure. As we are driving from Vancouver to Whistler, she keeps on saying "we aren't in Kansas anymore" inbetween her signs and gasps at how beautiful the landscape is!
We can't believe we are on our way to Whistler and the Olympics!!
