The travel insurance runs out two days before we get to Yemen. That's Yemen, where two Belgian tourists were shot recently on an organised tour through the country.
Dig is good about these things. He does not immediately press the panic button, cancel the flights, rearrange the schedules or give up enturely and hide in the kitchen. In fact Dig is my insurance, because he is calm, and orderly in his thoughts about these things, and usually, he does not take risks. He is also well travelled, and knows about things. When he is not with the family, he has the benefit of armoured cars and people who look after him, sometimes.
Today Dig does the business with the insurance renewals, checks the conditions for repatriation of dead bodies and scrutinises medical emergencies. So taking the family off to Yemen where shootings happen is going to be OK.

A diary of travels about the world dragging screaming triplets behind us
Happy travellers
The triplets are well travelled for this far in life. Their adventures have so far taken them to Italy, the Netherlands, Singapore, Australia, Portugal, Spain, Yemen, the UAE, and York, UK, where the first, biggest and most dramatic fight happened all night long and made me say 'I will never travel with those triplets again'.
As I sift and sort old folders, books, notes and jottings, I hope to put those triplet travel stories on this blog, to remind me of what we do.
It is a work in progress, and I am learning.
