Have a fantabulous time and pinch that cute little Ryan Lochte on the butt for me - he makes me swoon!

Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 No worries, Nikki. (or anyone) I try not to take things personally. I am just very passionate about this country and very, very disheartened by what politicians and big business have done to it. I'm sure if we continued this discussion I'd start talking about bank collapses and the euro hitting $1.60 today and InBev taking over Busch (which could spell disaster for the parks as well as American workers) and people would tell me I'm just overreacting and I'd ask what they're smoking and it would continue again ... I'm glad I go to China in 48 hrs and can leave that for the rest of you! I likely shouldn't put out as much personal info as I do because frankly it gives a distorted picture of who I am and some people are very quick to make Olympic-sized leaps to the wrong conclusions. But I am psyched to head to Beijing and, no, I have never been to an Olympics before let alone helped stage one so this really is the adventure of a lifetime. And then I get to check out Hong Kong, (hopefullY) Macau and HKDL when all is said and done. Not a bad little bonus at the end!
