Olympic Stadium - Montreal
Last Updated: Feb. 28, 2008
The Olympic Stadium and surrounding venues in Montreal were built for the 1976 Summer Olympics. The stadium’s tower was completed a little later, in 1988 or 12 years after the Olympics. Budgeting was a little off; in fact, the games were 1200% over budget and were finally paid off 30 years later in 2006. Montreal is one of Canada’s two Olympic Cities along with Vancouver.

Some other suggestions, although not necessary - Travel pillow, chewing gum (especially for those who have ear problems during flight), book and/or ipod and one change of clothing (air lines do lose luggage occasionally)
London is one of the BEST places to go shopping! If you came to shop, you MUST treat yourself to just a little something from the TopShop on Oxford Street.
For a great view of the city (especially at night) go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris. It also offers a great vantage point for viewing the water show at the Bellagio.
