The following is a reply from the anonymous original poster

So I spoke with a couple of decision makers to day.

So far we didn't get into too much detail in regards to my compensation.

But it sounds like a "couple" of paid flights "home" is negotiable
how the pay structure works will be a raise on top of my current wage + a significant amount in living allowance.
the total of wage + living allowance would be close to 2.2-2.3X my current wage.

it is a 3 year contract, afterwards i keep my wage but lose the living allowance when I move back into a major metropolitan area.

so far they are going to arrange for me to visit the city and environment before I need to make a decision.

what i want to know is um....does the compensation sound fair? should I negotiate other things into the contract? etc

ultimately the $ is nice, but its the advancement in my career that is the main driving factor.
