I will move to an apartment, most likely, mostly furnished. If not, I do get a small monthly furniture allowance. Trying to get a Villa, but we'll see. We'll be able to get a container if we want it, otherwise just using freight forwarders. We had not considered bringing much in the form of furniture. However, if I can get a great LCD TV in the US before coming, I just might. I just don't want to overpay for things in Qatar or miss out on items that you can find here, but not in Qatar. Thanks for your help. : )
