Part of preparations for any expedition, whether you know what to do or not, is reading, of course. I will later come with a suggestion of the best Travel/Expedition books every written, but until then, well, the other day I went to a lecture by an Oil Company I might work together with in the future and they were talking about Oman. And to prepare myself for the lecture I browsed through the Internet and I came across one of my favouriet travel writers, who has done what I consider one of the most fantastic Expeditions in history. Wilfred Thesiger´s explorations of Rub´al Khali, or the Empty Quarter. It has been a long dream of mine to explore this area of our world. But not that easy, since a major part is located in Saudi-Arabia. But then again, nothing is impossible. I will start looking into the subject. The joy I feel, when knowing that this might be the upcoming Expedition, well, it is the best feeling in life. And, it is after all, the true Arabia. And considering the worry the west feel regarding islam, well, this feels like the time to do it!
