Train for the Olympics
A cheaper way to travel to the London 2012 Olympics
We all know that prices rise during important events -- conventions, trade shows, concerts coming to town -- and the 2012 Olympic Games in London are no exception. The problem is that London is already expensive in its own right. Factor in the exchange rate (the GBP is almost double the U.S. and Canadian dollar) and hotel costs that have tripled for the Olympic season, and you've got one expensive holiday on your hands. What to do? Cancel your trip? Sell your soul to VISA and go into debt for your Olympic dreams?
