Insurance Purchased, Visas Issued

The other day we bought our travel insurance. We didn't get any for our year in Korea, but this is a little more involved travel-wise. The problem with getting travel insurance is that it's usually assumed that you're leaving from your home country. Well, of course, that isn't our situation. To our rescue comes, http://worldnomads.com/. They offered exaclty what we wanted:
  • they didn't care about where we live
  • we can insure individual items (iPods, cameras, backbacks, GPS, etc)
  • andthey have decent coverage at a reasonable price
These are our specific benefits (for my mom's peace of mind):
Overseas Medical ExpensesAUD $10,000,000
Emergency Dental TreatmentAUD $500
Medical Evacuation/Additional ExpensesAUD $1,000,000
Cancellation CostsAUD $20,000
Personal LiabilityAUD $5,000,000
Burial/Cremation ExpensesAUD $12,000
Standard Luggage and Personal EffectsAUD $5,000

It's based in Australia, hence the currency. We also paid a percentage for the extra electronic items we wanted insured.

For a grand total of $509. That's for three months, Aug 30 - Nov 29th.

Also, we've been emailed that our visas have been issued; our passports are waiting for us at the tourist agency.

It's getting so close we can taste it...
