Any worldtraveleristas know anything about travel insurance?
I got some for my round the world trip, but didn't need to use it (and they kept emailing me forever after). I used some sort of aggregator of travel insurance on the web. But there's also a post on my fave travel blog ("View from the Wing") today about how it may not really be worth it. It really depends on where you're going and what you're getting it for. For medical stuff? For cancelations? For "my luggage got lost"? For the first, you may be covered by the country you're going to (well, it might be cheaper), and your currrent insurance may cover you. For the second, there's so many caveats, it may just be worth paying a change fee, depending on what you're insuring. The last...probably not worth it at all.
