Training - taking your wives? by WifeofanExpattobe
Hi everyone My husband is due to start training next month in Houston. I wanted to join him but unsure if there will be any other wives there? Don't want to be sat on my own for months while he is at work Cheers
Maybe it would be a good idea if a Moderator could move this post back to the Jubail thread? There is no context for people in the Houston thread who will not understand what "training" means and it is likely that Wifeofanexpattobe will not get the ... Read More
