Marc and Arlene...CONGRATULATIONS!!! Don't know where I've been but just noticed this thread.
Am so thrilled for you both! Jack and I lived for 2 years in Brasil and 2 years in Saudi in the late 70's. Such an incredibly enriching wonderful experience!!
As I'm certain you've already learned, there are lots of opportunities (volunteer and paid) for Arlene (check out ASIJ..American School in Japan).
The ex pat community is very special, the travel opportunities are mind boggeling, and the friendships, experiences and memories will last you a life time! Please PM me for more details.
Again, congratulations....we're so excited for you!!!
