Going for Gold

The McCoy drivers are getting rave feedback from the few athletes and volunteers we work with here at the Olympic Village. There have been reports (including news reports) of drivers getting lost on their routes or not even showing up, not us, we are showing the world that we will do everything to keep up the high professionalism that you can expect from any of the McCoy drivers. (do we get that bonus now Shawn LOL)
A Swiss athlete in a panic approached me at the venue BJ and I are assigned to, he had left his camera that had all his pictures including the ones he took at the opening ceremony on the bus,  with a quick phone call, BJ was able to return the camera back to a now relived athlete within 30 mins.
 (please note that we are not allowed to elaborate on security procedures, routes, venues or athletes at this time for security reasons)
Even tho it feels more like spring then winter, (double digits again today) the sights around Vancouver and the lower mainland are awesome. Not only the natural sights but everywhere you go Canada pride is all around, from kids and adults alike walking around with face painted maple leafs to wearing the Canadian flag, sights to make you feel proud to be Canadian.
