Hi there -

I'm not in Riyadh yet but I'm moving this July with a 3-year-old. Sorry I can't help you with a cargo handler, but I can tell you that the American/International School is NOT inside the Diplomatic Quarter where all the embassies are. There's apparently no schools inside, but there are buses from the western compounds to the biggest schools.

I have a blog where I have links to other westerners living in Saudi, and they have written some good posts about everyday life there and how their first meetings were. Plus, they're always ready to answer questions! Have a look at "S as in Saudi", "Sand gets in my eyes" and "An englisman in Saudi". You can google them, or you'll find the links here: http://orientia.blogspot.com

Good luck! I'd love to see you when we get there! :)
