Unfortunately i've been out of town for the last 3 weeks and I miss the first 5 or so days of the games... stoked to get back into town and soak up the atmosphere. I know a ton of people are protesting the games.. but I guess i'm a sucker and all for the excitement it's going to bring.

Don't think there's any closures in that area. Haven't seen any yet and I'm down there often and as recent as last night (Homer & Pacific). They have shut down some meter parking around DT, but not in Yaletown that I've seen. Streets such as Alberni have meter spots no longer available for use.
Here's a list of the posted closures.
1st Ave (Quebec to Wylie) Nov 1 2009 to Mar 31 2010
Columbia St (between 1st and 2nd) Jan 15 - Mar 24
Cook St (1st to lane south of 1st) Jan 15 - Mar 24
Crowe St (between 1st and lane south of 1st) Jan 15 - Mar 24
Manitoba St (between 1st and 2nd) Jan 15 - Mar 24
Ontario St (between 1st and 2nd) Jan 15 - Mar 24
Quebec St (1st and lane south of 1st) Jan 15 - Mar 24
Quebec St (Terminal to 2nd) Jan 15 - Mar 24
Abbott St (Expo to Pacific) Jan 4 - Mar 14
None have inconvenience me much at all, and I drive around a fair bit, especially into DT. The only one that effect my normal driving routes is Quebec being closed near science center, so you have to take Main St. if heading back on terminal towards DT or 2nd Ave (to Kits/False creek etc.)
Also noticed signs today saying Cambie bridge will be closed Wednesday and Friday.

We tried finding some where to stay but there's nothing within our budget close then Langley...
We were planning on hitting whistler and watching some of the alpine events but yeah. Hanging out at the different "houses" would've been cool too!
You guys are all really lucky!! Enjoy yourselves!!
