Getting together with friends you haven’t seen for a long time is always a wonderful experience, but this time it was truly special. Valle d’Aosta was the setting of this second meeting of the famous holiday staff team: a large group of girls and guys who in the 80s and 90s created the history of the tourist resort in the Maldives as entertainers, athletes and divers, who all came to the gathering to share memories and unforgettable moments of a period that marked all of our lives in a profound way. Oscar was the doctor in the resort for many years, and I with Max a child then, went with him, and I worked as a diving and snorkelling instructor. Each time we returned to the Maldives, it was like coming home. Then to find myself with these companions in the mountains for the weekend was a thrill. All of our lives have taken different paths over the years, but the enthusiasm and spirit have remind the same. They are all character of great depth, very simple and kind, sharing a passion for their work to entertain and have fun. After so much time since we have seen each other, like magic, we recreated the atmosphere of friendship and complicity with them as if time had stopped. We talked, played, sang: in a helicopter we flew over the Monte Bianco summit and in the evening we ended with a big party in a pine forest at a private cottage in Val Veny, where glaciers and mountains were the backdrop to dinner and music, dancing and fireworks. A heartfelt thanks to the organizers, we have found genuine friends, and with genuine simplicity and spontaneity, always shared great moments of joy and serenity, then and now.
