Many thanks to novita, Ton, Johny, Shaz and Shell for your valuable input; deeply appreciated.

It's interesting to read there are quite a few of us who HAD to make a move (from Bah) to Doha.

By the sound of things, rent is a killer! I guess the bottom line is that it's better than having no job.... and yes, I am going to miss our front garden too, Johny :o(

Thanks also to everyone re the wife groups; she hasn't registered on QL yet, but rest assured I'll get her to contact you all once we make our move.

Whilst I have your attention, is it relatively easy to drive from Bah to Doha? Does the custom check the car for grog and pork? I am thinking of loading our CRV with our belongings when we make the move.

Cheers,
Don
