Twitter blew up today with 50 days to go to #rio2016 so I started counting too – it is 80 for me #paraolympics as I am heading out on September 5th. Ticket booked, accommodation confirmed, online training complete, formal letter from Brazilian authorities in my inbox – now let’s practice that Portuguese a bit more and get a work roster ! Yayay – it is so close.

See you in 80 days, Rio! #RoadToRio #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/DM3RERPzX0
