I have to say that I am excited about the World Cup this year.  I wish I could have made it over to Germany to watch.  I hear it is quite an experience.  It is definitely one of the international sporting events that I will go to sometime in my life.  I was thinking about other sporting events for which I would travel.  It's easy if the event comes to your home town or region, but what would you actually travel for?  My list is pretty short - the World Cup, the Rose Bowl (only if the University of Oregon is playing) and the summer Olympics. 

I found a gadget that will help me to keep track of the World Cup action.  Check it out - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=df6a6e6e-21af-4786-ad1d-a38e8bfda82f&DisplayLang=en.
