I'm Going to the Olympics!
That's a bit misleading. I am going to attend the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. AND I only have to wait TWO YEARS, THREE MONTHS, and a couple of weeks!
During March 31–April 4, if I was one of the chosen ones, I was to receive an email letting me know that I've been assigned a time slot to purchase tickets during this brief sale. Sadly, I wasn't sent the coveted invitation to shop.
BUT my friend Julie was. She was able to purchase LA28 Olympics tickets with a very limiting 12-ticket maximum. I am so fortunate that she chose me to be one of her guests.
The consolation prize for not being in this first ticket drop is that I have another possible opportunity since I've been automatically entered into all future ticket draws—including the draw for Drop 1. Email notification for Drop 1 time slots will be sent out on April 7. And what other event would I want to attend? Surfing sounds pretty tubular. "Lower Trestles in San Clemente has been officially confirmed to host the surfing competition. Known for its consistent, high-performance waves, this world-renowned break at San Onofre State Beach was selected for its elite-level quality, acting as a premier, natural venue for surfing’s third consecutive appearance in the Games." My fingers are crossed.
"It is the inspiration of the Olympic Games that drives people not only to compete but to improve, and to bring lasting spiritual and moral benefits to the athlete and inspiration to those lucky enough to witness the athletic dedication." -Herb Elliott
If I only can see one event during LA28, I'm completely content to be inspired by Volleyball with Julie. I consider myself lucky, indeed.
