Shekio,

We're in the same position, moving out in Oct/Nov with our then 18month old girl. Just wondering whether you had received any responses?  Have you moved yet, if so can you offer any advice?

I will also be looking to meet other expat wives and babies as it is my husband's job that is taking us to Abu Dhabi.  Has your wife built up a network yet?

Look forward to hearing from you.
