Cruising the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea

The next five days were spent at sea, as we traveled around Saudi Arabia, by Somalia, along side Yemen, and into Oman.  Ship board activities, including lectures by a political scientist and an egyptologists kept us in tune with our surroundings.  We kept up an exercise schedule (walking 2-3 miles a day) to allow us to take full advantage of the dining experiences.  The meals on board - either in the five star french main dining room, or at in the italian or steak house restaurants - were consistently outstanding.
