Yeah, I'd recommend travel insurance! You never know when a bit of Dengue fever is going to strike.... :vhappy:
Naughty Sean Need to dig out that thread you started last year on travel insurance there was some good advice there. This thread Mike, Howerd gave some good links on that one.
On a serious note, if you are going to be staying with relatives in a house then backpackers insurance can be bought a lot cheaper!
