I'm laughing -- there are people here, Mike, who will wonder HOW you got to Riyadh by boat lol聽 You'll realize how many "Americanisms" you tend to use by the puzzled faces of those around you

Anyway, welcome to the forum and, on the larger front, to the Kingdom.聽 Read the threads (by which you'll not only gain knowledge but also gain a sense of who we all are--after which I聽 hope you'll still be talking to me lol) and聽 please, feel free to join in!

Would it be cheaper to take a boat from Sydney or a plane? Is there a particular amphibious boat that I need to take?

Welcome to the forum, I am hoping you will meet me at the docks when I arrive.
