ABU DI-IABI, U A E 12- 16 MARCH After 75 straight days at sea, the United Arab Emirates fU.A.E.l looked like a win- ner. Oil wealth only one generation old a close-knit ruling family English Spoken Here even a colony of En- glishmen. Everyone quickly headed for the phones, then the restaurants and the nightclubs. lt all seemed so civilizedg rooms at the Hilton and Sheraton, CNN on the TV, shopping malls and excellent food. The British Club opened its doors to officers. Expatriate British and Americans opened their homes to the crew. You could walk for miles of beach along beau- tiful stonehewn walkways. Skyscrapers and fountains felt modern enough, even if veiled women didn't. Pizza Hut, KFC and Baskin-Robbins gave a taste of home. You could bargain with a rug merchant or have custom-brewed perfumes poured into your container of choice, in the open- air Old Souk bazaar. The castles were stunning, wealth on display. Abu Dhabi was strange in an Arab way to our West- ern senses. Yet it was modern, tolerant and friendly. Thank you, Abu Dhabi, for a place worth stopping after so long at sea.
