Re: holiday
Enjoy your trip Ron,
I am insured with the Royal Bank of Scotland for world travel. Three years ago when I was taken ill on a cruise ship and taken to hospital in Hawaii for three weeks and HER in a Hotel for the three weeks and then flown home First Class the cost was $88,000 or about £65,000. No problems, I had nothing to do, they paid everything without a comment. and no extra charges the year after.
Have a nice time
Cheers
Brian

Hi HD John
I get free travel insurance on my American Express card ... BUT only for a cancelation of the cruise of flights. ....NOT for any accidents , Illness or Hospitalisation.
So worth checking up on first
Cheers

Ours are a bit different Brian, not every one can get the card you have to be above a certain income or know the right people.
But with ours all you have to do is notify the bank where and when and for how long. Only had two claims but both paid in full
