The thing is, those in charge don't care what the American people want. They're to busy kissing ass and once again cramming their PC bull down everyone's throat, and we're supposed to take it (and support it) whether we in the know want it or not. We're screwed either way.kateykakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899199244376258098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-76383922908594982802010-08-25T09:21:21.121+03:002010-08-25T09:21:21.121+03:00So sorry Sabra, to confuse you... we've been b...So sorry Sabra, to confuse you... we've been back to the States for vacation over the course of the six years we have been living here. I meant "first time to repatriate." I started reading some repatriate books to help with the transition.. just thought if you too had information to share. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />R-QatarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-20998622123285269382010-08-24T08:19:59.636+03:002010-08-24T08:19:59.636+03:00I think you will hate the censorship in China. My ...I think you will hate the censorship in China. My sister has made multiple trips. She found that event the Walgreens.com site was blocked farther inland, but not in Beijeng (sp?). She and her husband were also stopped by the police in a square - turns out they were expecting international protesters and wanted to ensure my sister and her husband were just tourists. She had loved China until that, but was glad to be back home from her trip after that experience.Efireflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544441225316214433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-44182628349101409512010-08-22T19:59:13.195+03:002010-08-22T19:59:13.195+03:00For the FIRST time in six years, R-Qatar?!?

Well, compared to leaving the States to go to a middle east country, anyway. I suspect that you will have no problem at all with the transition. The time difference will be a shock to your body, at first. The fact that it is no longer light at 4:45 in the morning... But it isn't dark at 5P, either. That will only take a week or two to adjust to, though. At least you have been in a much more civilized area than saudi was. You will be just fine!Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099972141312539283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-84469669446727538702010-08-22T14:32:02.200+03:002010-08-22T14:32:02.200+03:00Hi ...

I'm in Qatar, have been for the past six years, and will be repatriating for the first time, back to the U.S. in December. Do you have any valuable information to help with the transition? <br /><br />Thanks,<br />R-QatarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-84496718261887328312010-08-11T10:04:15.444+03:002010-08-11T10:04:15.444+03:00I don't know which aircraft your better half h...I don't know which aircraft your better half has tickets for, but I know of only two businesses that are hopping nearly everywhere I look.<br /><br />FED-EX, and UPS. FED-EX has large aircraft AND small aircraft - everything from Cessna Caravans to DC-10s. UPS has a ton of 767s. Both fly in and out of here many times a day.<br /><br />Getting a ticket for the biggies might be a bit difficult, but for an interim flight job, a Caravan ticket might work out all right, and could be relatively cheap to get.<br /><br />Give FED-EX and UPS a shot. People are buying stuff on-line and having it delivered all over the US. There's so much package business that DHL's previously idle yellow and red aircraft are being leased by another carrier too. And all those airplanes need pilots.<br /><br />BoxStockRacerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-61223267686922323852010-08-11T04:57:38.758+03:002010-08-11T04:57:38.758+03:00So good to hear from you.

I was wondering how he and you were doing.<br /><br />China does have censorship of the internet, but I do believe you can find a church there, alcohol, pork, even go out without a veil or head covering. You can even drive. So that makes it 100% better.<br /><br />Hope you update soon, I'll keep you in my prayers.Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29282508.post-22294174419730425852010-08-10T18:29:52.137+03:002010-08-10T18:29:52.137+03:00I was wondering what happened to you, glad you gav...I was wondering what happened to you, glad you gave us an update. China? That would certainly be a change from SA. They have some beautiful architecture there, food, landscapes.
