Back from the Mid East

Dubai has more bars and nightlife then anywhere I have ever been in the states. And much better looking girls as well.

ah ok....thought that those arabs frowned on drinking....something about their screwed up religion....

The UAE is very different then the rest of the mid east.

SIU- I was reading on the IRS website that to be exempt from taxes (to the limit of 87 something) you had to be out of the country for 330 days, not consecutive but total. How does that square with the 1 month on 1 month off or 2 month on 1 month off schedule? I have been thinking of contract but it sounds like the tax man will be waiting. Thoughts?

Glad to hear you are enjoying the gig! Cheers- Rum

Two questions:

Will they consider an airline guy like me (airline experience, not necessarily the airline 'tude), and will they let me bring my wife to Dubai.

reepicheep,

Yes, it can get a little tricky with the two on one off, being paid in cash helps a lot. I have hired a very good account and am going to be following his advice.

Thanks for the tip, but I don't want to live there full time; I need the 1-2 months on/1 month off.

When you clear US customs, isn't there something to check off on the customs form if you are carrying more than 10,000 US dollars? Maybe its a different amount, but thats just off the top of my head. Or are you spending 2500 before you get to the US?
