marknjo - curious - what did you find about travel insurance covering your US trip? ...and which online US site did you shop from? sorry not to be helpful in answering your questions
cool, lucky you, business class and direct flight I wish I could've done that, but flights from Africa are soooo expensive as it is! Sounds like you're all sorted. I've had the travel bug for ages (last 'trip' lasted a year and a half!), so wishing I could go somewhere in the next couple of months but after the last flight I think I'll have to wait Great idea about the empty suitcase, and hopefully the exchange rate is good for you. Have fun!!
Buliej - Will most likely go with Columbus Direct but we are going to speak to a friend who is a travel agent on the weekend to see what she says. Some of the companies that say they will only cover to 26 weeks will let you apply for extended cover it just costs a bit more. They don't advertise this but if you ask you can put in an application and it is done on a case by case basis. You need to get letters and stuff from your ob to say you are in perfect health etc. The only problem we might have is that our DD was a premmie so they may say no chance! I will post on here once we have bought a cover.
Bec - We got airfares on sale and the business class seats were cheaper than economy! Very lucky to get them I think! Keep and eye on the airline specials, you never know you may get a good BC deal and be able to go somewhere in comfort
We have finally locked in our travel insurance. We have gone with HCF. They cover up to 28 weeks without the need for any documentation. My ob today gave me a certificate confirming my dates that we can take with us incase any of the airlines ask so all is good. And because we are with Manchester Unity for our private health ins, we got 10% off as they are affiliated with HCF
