Im going away tonight and i havent got my "EHIC" (e111) sorted. just applied on the internet for one but does this mean i wont be able to get treated in any scummy greek hospitals? ALSO NOBLE: Whats the cheapest way to phone home from abroad? Last time i only went for a week and racked up and extra £80 on my bill from using my phone minimally. |

just go to the post office and get travel insurance, it's effective immediately if it has to be and is a very good policy. Cheap as well |

Cheap as well you still need an E111 card tho but if you need travel incurenace i've got the Platinum pack on insureandgo.com which is good for the price... no excess either, which is useful |

Ring up the helpline or what have you, they'll be able to send you out a temporary E111 card if you're in a hurry. |

Vancouver, 1st aug til 15th Nice! How much did your flights cost you? Just paid near £500 to go to Toronto at the end of August. Why Vancouver? Just out of interest. |

Just out of interest. my dad lives there, flights were £1500 return, way out premium economy, way back is business class flights are so much more expensive this time of year than in march/april! |
