Hope your right about us taking off.

As far as working over in the UAE, my best friend from college is working a security type job (he disappeared into the black world when we were still in the USAF and I haven't know what he does since) in Abu Dhabi. I went and hung out with him for a couple of weeks last year and it's a weird place. No, western women don't have to "suit up" (his words, the locals don't wear all that stuff at home). Dubai very neat and clean (ie very new) but you're still just the hired help and you're talents are welcome but you're not.......if that makes any since.

And, lastly, what has been said for tax stuff is way off. He makes BIG bucks and I can tell you his taxes are a mess. His US corporation takes care of all of it and they are at least 2 years behind.
