Hi there,

NCTBA I am sitting by the pool with no abaya having Micky Dees and responding to a few urgent messages to family and friends, so I guess you are included Smile

and it is all paid for. Smile

Trip was long, via Zurich but everything worked like a clock and I already have a cell phone and an extra abaya and quite a few pals from all over the world (mostly British) and a huge comfortable place where to live and lots of support, help and info on what to buy and where. Real glad to be here.

Have to dash to unpack and get ready for tomorrow.

Chat with you soon,

Dear Linda467,
Congratulation of a safe trip - and it sounds as though you're adjusting wonderfully.
May your stay in the Kingdom be a very, very good one.
Regards,
John

Any chance you tell us what compound you're on? And is your accommodation shared or not?

Linda467, congrats on a safe arrival. Like johnslat, I wish you a happy stay in the Kingdom. It really does happen for some people, and I hope that you are one of the lucky ones.

Best wishes,
Mia

I was unconscious when you first posted. I join John and Mia in welcoming you to the kingdom. Glad to hear that your wait is over and I wish you a safe and profitable time there. Be careful on the streets.

Are you on a compound?

Watch it, John! I'm a bad influence...I tend to tell it like it is. And, the old adage proves true: "The truth hurts (...some").

I expect that she may have been using a hotel or club wifi system since she mentioned the pool.

Employed by AETAG, working at Princess Nora, we are five minutes from Olaya Street and main shopping malls and Uni.

Compound next to Lexus Dealership. Got Internet, extra abaya, cell phone, SIM Card, transport, and $$$ advance from employer. We�ve already been to Carrefour shopping for basic necessities. Very good supportive atmosphere among all girls. Everybody shares info and whatever is needed, no questions asked.

We�ve been doing placement test for a few hours today. Pack light summer clothes.

Hope, Lucrezia and the others coming over, I am at number 19 villa. See you soon

To the rest of the group, keep your chin up and keep going, you are almost there.

Best wishes,
