So our relocation to Saudi has been a lengthy and complicated one. Bill has already been there for five days now. I, Warda on the other hand, am stuck in Canada for the moment. During our application, we unfortunately could not secure a job as a couple. Therefore, our backup plan was for each of us to find employment in the same city. As you can probably guesstimate, that plan flopped. I was offered several jobs in Riyadh while Bill was offered positions in Jeddah. Since it is way more complicated for me to bring my husband than it is for him to sponsor me; we have decided that Bill goes ahead and I join him later. I am in Toronto now, waiting for Bill to get his Iqama (residence). As we said in the previous post, this blog will contain snap shots of what it is like living in Saudi. But it will also have posts about the process of getting into Saudi. Bill will be doing daily entries about his experiences in Saudi. Some of those have already been written, and I just needed to post them.
