NEAR THE DEPARTURE

We are only missing a little. The necessary material for the expedition has arrived and finally we begin to relax. There are still a thousand things to prepare, but to know everything works is a great relief for the team. Tomorrow we will have the official staff meeting, to define for the last time the work to be done during the expedition.
Max, together with Teresa who is responsible for official press, and Stefano who runs the website, will be coordinating the operation in Italy. Oscar, Renato and Daniele, who will be in Egypt with us, must decide how to get us information and news, but above all how to prepare the water resupply for Fabio and I and how to intervene in case it is necessary. The satellite phones guarantee communication with us. We are relaxed and know that the dream is becoming a reality: they are fantastic moments for us that we will never forget.
