insured.

Well the 'dread' of booking travel insurance is over. Let's hope that now that it's booked we don't have to ever deal with it again. After scouring the internet for reviews and comparing prices we decided to go with World Nomads for our travel insurance.

Of all the sites we looked at they were far and away the most easy to understand and their prices seemed very reasonable. Everything was laid out clearly, it seemed to fit the exact trip we were taking and they seemed reputable. Insurance was about $500 for 6 months, which is the max you can book at a time. We'll be gone about 7 months and we can extend the coverage online while on our trip.

Reading through the policy we should be well covered, the only thing that didn't completely cover us was a $500 limit on cameras, computers and other electronics. Hopefully that never becomes an issue and we can hold on to the expensive stuff. Otherwise as long as we don't die learning to fly a plane or on some high altitude rock climbing expedition we should be good.

travel insurance...dread.

Of all the planning we have to do and have already done, travel insurance has been the one I have dreaded the most. Insurance is one of those great things you buy that you don't ever want to use. That being said we're getting some. Now the trick is which one to go with. Hopefully in the next week or so we'll have it sorted out and purchased and well after that, hopefully we never need it.
