Special May 2010 fares for multi-stop tickets on BootsnAll

There are far more entertaining and sexy subjects when it comes to long-term travel than what it takes to stay healthy on the road, but there are also few things that can screw up a RTW trip more than getting sick when you're far away from home. This isn't to say that there isn't going to be adequate medical care wherever you happen to be - you might find nice doctors and top-notch facilities. But even if you do, there's always the question of how much said medical care will cost.

Making sure you've got adequate travel insurance before you leave home is a good way to alleviate some of the worry of getting sick while traveling. Of course, having travel insurance isn't going to prevent you from getting ill, but it's one of those things that you'll be very happy you have if you do get sick. And the good news is that it's inexpensive enough that it's a pretty easy decision to make.

And now that you've got the boring stuff taken care of, how about looking at some fun stuff - like potential RTW itineraries?
