Abu Dhabi here I come!
Hi all
Have just signed my contract for a teaching position in Abu Dhabi and feel like a kid in a sweet shop... am so excited!
Will be moving out in September but before that am having to get certificates attested and sent of the the FCO and UAE Embassy. Have been advised I should send bulky items out six to eight weeks before I arrive to ensure they are there when I get there and so need to get quotes in the next few months.
Just wanted to say Hi to all... and apologies if I ask 101 questions that have already been answered, Scout honor I will use the search button first!!

Welcome again and the best of luck with your move. I can totally relate to the excitement.

Thanks everyone.
Everything is happening in a blur at the moment, writing letters to get Police checks one second then filling in tax forms the next!
Good job I have a few months for reality to set in.

There is an Introduction thread in the Sand Pit...why don't you pop over there and introduce yourself?
