Travel Insurance: How Much Medical Coverage is Enough?
From Randy Carlson: "Travel insurance policies have numerous options for Medical/Dental and Emergency Medical Evacuation, but I haven't seen any statistics that suggest how much of these coverages is considered adequate for incidents occuring during travel. Is $50,000 medical/dental enough? $100,000? For emergency medical evacuation back to the U.S. is $100,000 enough? $250,000? I've even seen $1,000,000. That ought to cover medical evacuation to another planet as far as I'm concerned."

more> Scam Alert: Using Credit Cards Overseas
From Kidstolondon: "There is a new scam, apparently legal, that Americans and others are encountering when using credit cards overseas. It is called dynamic currency conversion. Here's how it works: You use your US-issued VISA or MasterCard to rent a car in England (or to pay for a meal, or other purchase). The rate is quoted in British Pounds, but when you go to pay the bill, it has been converted to US Dollars. Sounds convenient, right? Wrong! The merchant has probably used a very unfavorable rate or added a high currency conversion fee to the transaction."
