Hi there,
merry welcome.
The Hilton is quite alright. Hubby stayed there for a few weeks. It's right at the Gulf but not near the city center.
I don't know the Rotana.

There are two Golf courses, one still being build, 9 holes are finished (not sure if this is the link to the golf club?)and one more established with 18 holes (Saharahttp://www.saharakuwait.com/).

Football? No idea
But I bet there's a place somewhere

internet is like 24 KD to 12 KD a month , 24 KD is viva and 12 KD si Wataniya and Zain is also somewhere in between .. and ofcourse the same ruple applie the more you pay the better service u'll get .. btw these are all wireless internet USB devices,,, in order to have the DSL u need to get the phone line which si not less than a hetic stuff .. but since u will be accomodating in the above mentioned , so the phoen line would not be the problem but the problem would be a shared DSL connection ,, so i would suggest viva or zain wireless internet device .. u can check the conversion of KD (kuwait dinar to USD) from xe.com

IW,

I too being from Texas am a big Football fan. (Hate the Cowboys though) I'm arriving next week and I'll see what I can find for NFL games.

Do you follow college games as well?

I'll post what I find out in a few weeks.

Tony,

are you from Htown? I hate the cowboys also!!
Texans and bears all the way..

I got details on how to watch the games over there..you need a AFN box, only available to military.

another way is to buy gamepass from NFL.com, but you'll need highspeed internet..

I'll be there in sept..I'll contact you once I'm there
