For Christmas I am going to travel to U.S. by my car. My trip will start from Toronto, Canada and my destination is Maryland, U.S. I appreciate if anyone could provide me some advice or links regarding the regulations on driving licence and insurance while in U.S.

"" i received an insurance notice regarding the cadddy. are you def. not coming back to usa??? you sold me, i’m not, so i was going to skip the registration and insurance on both cars. should i cancel our cell phones???""

I mentioned him a couple of days ago that it could be cool if after being in my country we could be able to do some traveling….and now I get this email…he has never invited me to go with him

Travel insurance? US citizen, residing in Japan, traveling to US for holidays. What should I do?

Travel Health Insurance | Posted by admin
Feb 20 2010

I’m a US citizen, currently living in Japan on a religious activities visa. I’m going home to the US for Christmas for two weeks. In America I have no health insurance. Right now I’m covered under the national health insurance here in Japan, but that doesn’t cover me while I’m traveling abroad. What is the best thing to do about travel insurance?

All the travelers insurance sites I’ve visited ask for my country of residence, which is technically still the US. So, I can’t buy travelers insurance from the US to the US… can I? Or should I say that my country of residence is Japan?
Also, where is the best place to purchase travelers insurance from?

I do have some friends who probably know, and I’m going to ask them. But I thought I’d see what people have to say on here as well.
Thanks for your help!

What are the chances of Royal Brunei Air going bust in the next 8 months?

Cheap Travel Insurance | Posted by admin
Feb 07 2010

I am looking at flights from LHR=BNE for Christmas 09. I’ve found a very cheap one with Royal Brunei (680 pounds return) which I’m thinking of booking, but I’m not sure – my annual travel insurance doesn’t cover a bankrupt airline. Also, given GFC I’m wondering if flight prices are likely to go down in the next 6 months?

What is acceptable or unacceptable behavior when it comes to an ex-wife?

Holiday Travel Insurance | Posted by admin
Jan 10 2010

My husband and I have been together for 9 yrs. During our initial dating period he left me to return to his ex-wife. His reasons (1) We had no committed relationship in his view and we were simply friends. (2) She needed him and can’t make it financially with their 2 kids. It didn’t last but a month and he came back to me. I was hesitant to get back involved with him but after listening to his reasons I decided to put the experience in the past. However, his ex-wife and his children has been a major factor for unhappiness in our marriage.
1. In spite of him voluntarily doubling his child-support she still has issues financially (even though she’s professionally employed);
2. He only hears from his kids when they need money or makes demands which he usually grants;
3. He found out last year that his youngest child is gay even though the behavior was obvious since the age of six. He accepts it but the ex-wife won’t in spite of having numerous gay/lesbian close relatives. She has used this as an excuse to increase her contact with him almost on a daily basis.
4. Lately he has been using the excuse that he has to travel to his job’s home corporation in a neighboring state which is located near the ex-wife’s home. Sometimes I’m informed a week in advance or two days in advance..really when he "remembers".
5. Recently after reviewing online the call detail logs for our family plan, I noticed that he and his ex-wife had been exchanging text messages and calls throughout the day on several occasions.
6. He recently forwarded some money to his kids for Christmas (which was okay with me), but he added additional money for a gift for the ex. Granted the kids are nearly grown (one will be 18 in four months) and one works. Had I not reviewed the deposit slip online I wouldn’t have had any knowledge about this.
7. He goes out of his way to remember her for EVERY holiday and his kids make sure of that. But, they never send him a card or gift for anything. For example, the ex-wife called him at 6:45 a.m. to wish him happy birthday but the kids didn’t call until 5:00 p.m. or so (even though they have phones that he pays nearly 0 monthly for). When I asked him how long is this "extra" stuff going to continue..he responded until the kids are old enough to get gifts for their mother on their own.

I’m sorry but I have a problem with this behavior. She has manipulated him since she walked out on him over 14+ yrs ago. This man has given up his car, gave her extra money for support and even gas money. I’m just afraid that when his oldest child goes to college next fall, we’re going to be stuck with excessive expenses pertaining to college, etc. The child demanded a car for the 17+ birthday which he agreed to ge without my knowledge. Okay, so we purchased the car and even pay for the auto insurance. But, it is my belief that he is doing more than enough and they should not expect him to be their fairy godmother when it comes to gifts for their mother. I am to the point where I just want him to leave for a little while because I need space to think. Any feedback?
Oh, I forgot to mention that we purchased a 6-bedroom, 4 bath home because his kids wanted their own rooms when they came over. This occurred three years ago and they have stayed less than 10 times. I suggested that we downsize because my child will be 17 soon and anticipate leaving at 18 like my other child, this leaves us with our child whom is 7. I also suggested becoming foster parents. He shut down both suggestions. So, we have a huge house with several rooms that are never occupied or even walked into. :(

I have fire and theft insurance for my car, but I want to do a road trip around christmas, and I wanted to know if its normal to get comprehensive insurance just for a month? I'm in Australia by the way, but I guess insurance companies are the same everywhere. Thanks.

Travelling to Monterrey Mexico?

Canadian Travel Insurance | Posted by admin
Jun 13 2009

I’m a Canadian citizen, and I’m travelling with my family from Toronto to Monterrey, Mexico in December. I’ll be driving from Georgetown/Austin to Monterrey. What is the border like? I heard the Columbia Bridge is a better option then the other border crossing, is that true? Also, is the drive to Monterrey dangerous? I’ll be staying in Monterrey for about 2 days, around the downtown area, is walking around safe? Also, do I need Mexican car insurance? How much would a typical Mexican meal cost? What’s a good hotel in the downtown area for 0-200 USD per night in a double room after Christmas? Thanks. 10 points for best answer

I just took a pregnancy test a few hours ago. My husband and I learned that we had to leave for georgia earlier. We live in west virginia. And a friend of mine advised me to see a doctor first. But I just resently moved to this state. And I don't have any insurance. And well christmas holidays have started. So what should I do? My husband thinks I will be alright. But I still think I should see a doctor. Before leaving. What should I do?
No… I'm not flying. My husband is driving. And it's about 7 hour drive.
