Thanks Jwal, my DH is fortunate to work for an American company. He was Regional Manager here in Dubai but covered all of Middle East, Africa and Asia and was offered a promotion to Director based at the Head Office in Chicago. It is a dream come true for him as he has always wanted to live and work in America so we couldn't say no!! I have heard lots of nice things about Chicago and not heard anything bad about it other than that it is very cold in the winter!! Need to go shopping as soon as we get there for a whole new winter wardrobe and we have 3 kids as well!! Spent 5 hours yesterday in the American Embassy getting mine and the childrens visas.

How brilliant, that sounds amazing! I've heard Chicago is a great place! Good luck on your adventure, hope the move goes smoothly! x

Northern lass, that's so brilliant can I ask how? I thought it was difficult to get into USA? We are also Brits and would love to go to the states!

Just wondered what everyone's planning to do this Eid?
We're staying in Dubai and doing day trips to the long list of places we still haven't got round to visiting yet!
