My son Mansoor used to call me whenever he goes abroad for business or pleasure trips to various places like Singapore, Malaysia, Sreelanka, Hong-Kong etc but I used to refuse. Last month he said we will go to Abudabi in February. As I wanted to just please him I agreed. Also some of our relatives and friends are there and Abudabi is just more than one hour flight from Kuwait.
So we left Kuwait for Abudabi in Kuwait Air flight on 12th February 2017 and reached Abudabi by noon. I was surprised to see the hospitality of Airport staff and when we came out new taxi was there. We drove to Hilton Abudabi near Corniche. Roads were very neat and greenish.
I informed my niece staying there about our arrival. My neice's husband Mr. Ishack a Mechanical Engg working in oil field and they are staying near Soudi border 250 km away. They all agreed to come to Hilton next day. In the evening one of Mansoors friend from Kollum Mr. Andrews came took us round and we had Kerala food from Calicut Notebook Restaurant.
Next day my niece and family came when my son gone for official meeting. They took me to Grand Mosque and other places and we had Kerala lunch from Ruchi Restaurant. By evening Mansoor also joined us and we had a walk to neighbouring places. They left by 7 as they have to drive 3 hours. Meantime another relative Mr. Nadeem sent car to take us to his Villa. Till 10 we were with his family and had homely food. They dropped us back to Hilton.
On 14th I went out for a walk in the sea shore Corniche. It is kept beautiful and neat and also attitude of all officials are really prize worthy. By evening one of my relative Mr. Yaccob came to see me all the way from Dubai. Meeting was very interesting though only for a small while. By evening Andrews came and took me and son out had veg dinner in Sangeetha Restaurant and returned to Hilton after seeing his office.
On 15th I had a walk in Corniche and evening two Ethiopian friends of Mansoor came and we had dinner from an Arabic Restaurant and had discussions .
On 16th we did packing and left Hilton by 12.30 for Airport. Reached Kuwait by evening as scheduled.

I never thought that in Gulf there will be such a wonderful place with excellent hospitality.
The trip was very pleasant and I enjoyed the stay and the environment and I am thankful to Mansoor for arranging the trip
