Found this article on associated costs for the uninsured, and while the figures are in foreign currencies, it’s easy to work out the exchange rates!!!!!

Thanks Jeremy for not including your wife michelle 

I travel will these top 3 things almost everywhere I go.

1. Hydra lite or some other form of electrolyte recovering powder. Great for after a long flight or long day in the sun.

2. Self filtering bottle, saved us so much while we are in Europe. Pour water from any tap or water fountain in the bottle and as you drink the water gets filtered.

3. Migraine medication, I never leave the house without it. You never know when one will present itself and you have less than an hour to take the medication or you suffer greatly.

1. Multitool of some description.

2. Tablet for reading / gaming on flights.

3. these guys

If you give one of those to an acquaintance, you have just made a life long friend.

Have you seen the bubblers in Rome? (im sure they are otehr places as well)

They have two holes, and are usually something like a dolphin, or dragon. So when you cover the mouth (used for filling bottles) The water then sprays out the top hole, for drinking out of.
Theyre also all connected to under ground pipes, so the water is always really nice and cold.

Actually yeah I have a small first-aid kit that lives in my travel bag as well.

1. Load up Spotify for OFFLINE ACCESS - nothing worse than being on the plane (with flight mode enabled of course) and seeing all my tunes greyed out.  Been caught out twice this year prior to a 10+hr flight - sucks.

2. Hip flask.  Very under-rated item.  You load this baby up from the sprits section in the lounge prior to boarding - you’re already airside so no security issues.  This saves your butt when the moody cabin crew get the shits with you for asking for another scotch/vodka/bourbon.  Just walk down the back, grab a coke/soda and mix your own.  Great success!
