Happy Memorial Day!

We too will be arriving this summer, though my husband has been in country for several months now.

I have been told that if you can wear it in an American office, you can wear it in Qatar. It's short-short and extra tight that seem to be offensive, so if your dress is moderate by American standards, you should have no problem.

Yes, you can Skype! Thank heavens for Skype! We use it daily.

As far as toiletries go, I have been told that if it's a "gotta have it" by brand, bring it, because even if Qatar has it, they don't always have it all the time. If you don't care about brand & any dab'll do ya, don't worry, they've got it!

Although I understand that one CAN bring animals into the country, we are leaving ours with trusted family and friends. My dog is older and I’m not sure she’d make the trip well.

Hope that helps some! You are brave to be doing this on your own – I’m fairly overwhelmed, and I’ve got a husband & a corporate team behind me.

Good luck to you!
