Oh Man, Oman!

Tuesday March 18, At sea.

Yikes! We’re sailing through the Arabian Sea on our way to Oman. Oh Man! The stuff of my fantasies from childhood. Oman is allegedly the birthplace of Sinbad the sailor from Scheherezade’s “1001 Nights”. My favorite books and movies were ones like Alladin, Thieves of Bagdad, Rider Haggard’s books about the Queen of Sheeba, anything and everything about Egypt. I also had a big thing about Afganistan. I loved the costumes, the jewelry. Every Halloween, I was dressed as a gypsy. And on those nights, once a year, I felt like I was in the right movie.
