We’re still waiting to find out if Brian will be heading back to Hawaii this winter to work. Jesse is looking into another stone job so that’s a possibility. This one could last a while and if it does, Brian is considering a vacation to Australia for a week or so. That’s always been his dream.
Traveling out of the country, though, presents some different challenges. For one thing, health insurance that works perfectly in the US may not cover you in other countries. Did you know that? Apparently, some insurance plans will pay up to 50% but others will pay nothing. That’s a scary thought when you’re in a different country, so far from home.
I’ve been comparing prices on Travel insurance and found that for just a dollar or so a day, I can purchase travel medical insurance. Brian doesn’t usually get sick and even when he does, he seldom sees a doctor. However, you just never know when sickness or an accident will happen. It’s really best to be prepared. From what I’ve read at MultiNational Underwriters, there are several different plans available. That should make it easy to find the one that works best for our family.
If you’re traveling outside the US, you might want to look into a similar plan. Just Click Here for a FREE Quote to see how reasonable these rates are. In fact, if we decide to travel to Canada next summer (we’ve been planning it for two years!) I’m going to look into rates for families, too. I’m more concerned about the kids than I am about myself. Must be the mother in me.

I’ve never given insurance a thought when traveling outside of the country. Good info to know.
Thank you, I never thought to ask, nor did I think about it..
I’ll check our policy and be sure to check from now on. This is very serious….and I could just see one of us having a problem..recently we were in Sicily and I opted not to take insurance thinking ours would cover us…
I’m glad your letting your readers know this as well.
