Just one of the many mind boggling things to research. Finally after much thought and thanks to an article in ‘The Sunday Mail’ about the best travel insurance, I found the www.canstar.com.au website.  Great website.  Now I know what travel insurance company we will book through when our departure date gets closer.

Here is the techno stuff.  Again, all comments and suggestions welcome. If you have been there and done that with RTW travel and technology, then share your wisdom please!  I’ve added colour to the items we have already assembled.
