Vancouver Olympics: How to Get There
No doubt there will be more fireworks over Vancouver's English Bay during the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Question from reader Larnold202:
"Regarding your annual list of terrific travel agents, I'd love to find one who can help me plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver for my wife's 40th birthday. Do you know of an agent who would be ideal for this?"
Our Canada expert Rebecca Falkenberry can be of assistance in obtaining both event tickets and accommodations. However, you'll have to wait a while before you can book anything. The minute that Vancouver won the right to hold the 2010 Winter Games, the International Olympic Committee froze all hotel rooms in the area. Once the committee decides how many rooms it needs for athletes, sponsors, officials, media, and the like, the rest of the available space will be released to the general public. This happens before every Olympics, and rooms are typically not released until 18 months prior to the Games. There's a good chance, however, that Rebecca's connections in Canada will allow her to reserve a few rooms before that.
Rebecca will also be selling packages that include event tickets when those become available late next year. Meanwhile, you should check out the Vancouver guide that Conde Nast Traveler recently published for more ideas about what to do in the area.
