Day 1

Travelled to Vancouver last night. Already experienced some great hospitality. Sat with Jacqueline Mushaluk from Armstrong and had a great conversation during the flight and she was nice enough to give me a ride with her sister Ashley to the skytrain station to get out to Surrey.

I will be staying with my best friend Ted Semenoff and his wife Lesley for the Olympics. So incredibly nice of them to allow me to crash at their house for 3 weeks.

The skytrain ride was my first experience in public wearing the bright blue volunteer suit. The reception I received on the skytrain ride was wonderful. Complete strangers coming up to me and asking me questions about what I was doing, where I was volunteering. There certainly was an air of excitement everywhere down here.

Heading off for my first shift this afternoon. I assume I will go through some orientation and quick training for the first part of the day. I will report back when I get back tonight.
