I am happy to hear (as surely all others are) that the preparations have gone well! I think it will be helpful for all participants to have a description of the place (adress, phone numbers of hotel and/or contact person on the team) we have to go from the airport, what money to have ready for taxi or what transport to use. Even if you plan to provide transport it is still good to have that because something might go wrong upon arrival (missing each other etc).<br clear="none" class="yiv2728801039gmail_msg">
