Travel Insurance and packing

Have been researching travel insurance deals on and off for weeks now. Finally bit the bullet today. Prices are much of a muchness but I selected Allianz for 2 reasons. 1) Their website was clear and esay to read. 2) Their higher prices kick in when you are 71 or older. It's great to still qualify for something not in the 'sorry but you're too old' bracket.

Bought two cheap white stretch strappy tops from Target  for the tropical leg of my journey. Very handy to throw a shirt or fancy top over in the evening or wear 'as is' in the heat of the day. light and easy to pack, wash out easily.

Am curently strategising how to get by on the American legs of my trips with one check-in suitcase. Unlike QANTAS they charge extra for extra bags. I'm planning on travelling light but...not that light!

I've settled on the colour ranges of mix and match; aqua and pinky/purple preferably not together. This way you don't double up on things too much. I'll proabably have to try the old maxim, pack what you need and halve it.
