I just realized the Olympics are happening in a few months and they are within driving distance. I have memories of going to several events during the 1984 games as a small kid, and loving the experience. Is there any chance this late in the game that I could get tickets to some events like speed skating or ski jumping? Are scalpers the only option at this point? Are hotels already well-booked?

Hi Vancouver experts... My daughter-in-law's birthday is tomorrow and she and the kid are in Vancouver shooting the next big movie. I want to send her a gift certificate to a nice restaurant. The kid told me anywhere downtown is convenient for them, she loves Italian, Seafood, or Indian. I've gone through previous Vancouver restaurant askmes and none were on spot in terms of what I am looking for.. Ideas? (extra points for someplace that would e/mail her a gift certificate!) Thanks!
