travel insurance...dread.

Of all the planning we have to do and have already done, travel insurance has been the one I have dreaded the most. Insurance is one of those great things you buy that you don't ever want to use. That being said we're getting some. Now the trick is which one to go with. Hopefully in the next week or so we'll have it sorted out and purchased and well after that, hopefully we never need it.

We've started booking our flights through Australia as well as from KL, Malaysia to Bali, Indonesia.  In the US the new thing to complain about is the majority of airlines charging to check bags. Our eyes have been opened to the South East Asia airlines not only charging for checked bags (and the heavier the more you pay), but they also charge to pick your seats. However, we're not complaining since we can fly from Perth, AUS to Singapore for about $50 USD.

So far Tiger Airways has had the cheapest tickets throughout Australia.
