I can’t believe that I had not heard, up until now at least, that the 2012 Olympics are scheduled to be held in London. Wow, England is having a very busy time of i,t as of late, what with the recent Royal wedding that will take some time for the place to get over that spectacular event and next thing you know that place will become busy as ever preparring for the Olympics.
I have never been a real big fan of the Olympics but attending one in person is a whole nother matter. So I am starting to think that there is chance of me making a trip overseas and getting into the Olympics scene, London style. I have always wanted to take a trip over to Europe, I mean really, who hasn’t? There is still time to save up some money, get a few other people involved as well to go, which will help reduce the cost just a bit. Not a big group of people mind you, the more people you have involved the more complicated things get so I’m thinking that a group of 3 or 4 would be perfect so I need to think of who would want to go, who will behave themselves and still have fun and who can afford the trip as well.
I have some friends, Bill and Mary, that love to travel. The last trip they took, they rented one of those lovely, enchanting apartments in Puerto Pollensa and had a great time, bringing home more pictures that a person has a right to have. I can’t figure out how they managed to do everything that they claim that they did with all of the picture taking going on with them this time. It seems that Bill has just got a nice new fairly expensive camera for Christmas and he was trying to break it in, O.K. now who believes that a camera needs to be broken in for goodness sake? Seriously, they must have at least 1000 pictures from a one week vacation, that is a lot of picture taking going on there folks.
Bill and Mary have already been talking and researching their next trip to the largest island of Greece, Crete. They are planning on renting a holiday villas in Crete and are looking fora few other folks that would like to go along with them. I’m not all that crazy about going to Greece, but maybe I can talk them in going there the following year and go to London with me instead. They would be great to travel with, the three of us have gotten long really good for over 16 years now so I don’t think that they would ruin the trip with a bunch of petty trivia that a lot of couples go through and end up doing. What a waste of everyone’s time, money and energy, which are three things that I don’t want to give up easily for a no good, no account reason, right?
Guess I’ll start looking around a bit online and see what is what over there. I don’t know anything about England, but I’m willing and able to learn, so I have a lot to learn for this exciting event that is something that I’ve wanted to do ever since I can remember. At least I don’t have to learn another language, but will have to brush up on some of their customs and stuff like that. I’m getting excited about it all, I hope that I can make it happen.
