Cleared all my covid tests and security checks, I'll be going to the Opening Ceremonies tonight!
Long story short, I know someone who knows someone and our big group got whittled down for many reasons, but I finally was one of a few to make the final cut. Will also go to another event in a week and the Closing Ceremonies too (and Paralympic Ceremonies).
It'll be a long day and we're not allowed to bring battery packs in, so I hope my phone lasts with all the pictures and updates. Didn't want to jinx anything by celebrating too early, especially in these covid times.
So excited!
