Insurance

I'm officially insured in America now, well at least medically. I used the Seven Corners Company which Yummy Jobs recommends. I know that other people have been looking at other insurance options but nobody seems to have found anything dramatically cheaper and at least this way I know that I am definitely covered to the college's standards. Plus it means I don't have to do that extra paperwork too. It was $300.46 (no idea why they bother with the extra 46 cents) which I had worked out was roughly £25 a month which isn't too bad. Unfortunately the stupid exchange rate has changed so I'll be getting less dollars for my pound :( so it's going to cost a bit more. I probably should have got it earlier whilst the exchange rate was pretty good. I should learn not to procrastinate. I guess I'd better be getting my cash and traveller's cheques sorted before the situation gets even worse! At least I know I'm protected if I get ill or anything whilst I'm in the states. I don't think I'm going to bother with travel insurance. My flights are covered by BA anyway so it's only really for my luggage. The only thing I'm taking of any value is my iPod which I'll have with me at all times any way. It doesn't really matter about the rest of my stuff. It's only really clothes in my suitcase, and cheap clothes at that. They don't need insuring.
