Aloha pwb78! Thank you very much for your post! I really appreciate the responses :-) We will definitely look at those classifieds that you mentioned. We're also thinking of looking at buying, possibly, though we'll definitely have to review the laws associated with that first, and all. I'm not sure if we could afford to buy or not... but I've always kind of been a big proponent of buying instead of renting when possible. It looks like there are some amazing places over there, the the Pearl... but I have no idea what it costs to live in neighborhoods like that.
Thank you very much for your feedback on how your American friend has his girlfriend living with him- it's good to know that she was able to renew her visa that easily! And hey, a good excuse to fly out to Bahrain, too :-) I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep renewing a visitor visa, but it sounds like they had very little difficulty with it.
I will contact the Qatar Embassy before too long- thanks for reminding me of that resource! I'd completely forgotten about going through an embassy... I bet that information will be invaluable for us :-)
Thanks again!
