for the new OHIP card as our insurance was going to be for 11
months. Without the new card, they could not issue more than
the normal 182-days insurance. A lot of people get around this by
coming home every few months for a week or two, thereby resetting
their insurance clock. We had no plans to come home so we
were happy with our decision. Everyone's situation is different
so look into whatever plan works for you.
We took out tow boat insurance through TowBoatUS. The
price was ridiculously low and the fact we needed to be towed
twice certainly covered the premium. Our first tow was in the
Tennessee River and would have cost us $1500 had we not had
the insurance. The second tow was in Florida and was $450. I
wanted to tip the towboat operator in Florida once we got tied up
but the poor guy got Canadian dollars as we were just arriving
from the Bahamas and didn't have any U.S. cash.
Things to do before you leave
Now that you have your insurances looked after it is time to
think of more personal items. Pat and I set up powers of attorney
for health and finance. The bank had a copy of everything and
that came in handy when Pat lost his wallet in Chicago and our
daughter had to get him a new debit and credit card.
Right: We did have some cold mornings in October. Plan clothes for cold
and warm weather.
