Ioanna - Did they issue you a Multi-Entry visa for 5 years?

welcome to the sands.....loanna, wish you a happy stay here

Lawrence never made it to the Eastern region, it was the Hijaz Railway that connected Makkah to Damascus that was destroyed by the "progressive" Brit.

The eagle has landed!:cool:

This is what I have done for many years as an expat...
I research a community then make a contact/s.
This gives me a feel for the place where I will be living and gives me an avenue to have my questions answered anonymously: This reduces my stress and worry load.

Now in less than a week I will be socialising at JillnDave's bbq.. further establishing myself here...:cheers:


These pointers are part of the survival skills to being a successful expatriate (it's also part of my job here in Riyadh):)
