Didn't use Total Care after paying it for many years. Got more in value back when the old van died on the way to Melbourne. Got a hire car for a few days and the van was transported a couple of hundred ks.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Believe now I may have had mid level old $79ish 'Extra Care' way back when RS/EC/TC all first began and it did accomodate us for 2-3 nights in Goondiwindi awaiting for a brake booster arrival from down south. $200+ TC these days is still cheap I reckon from witnessing blokes stress relief and trucks back to their homes safely.

Not angry just disappointed. My daughter and son-in-law saved for 2 yrs to do a trek to Everest Base camp. They made it to 4100m then both had to be helicopter evac'd due to altitude sickness, virus and gastro. Bloody shame to not make it to their goal of circa 5200m, but they are both recovering in hospital in Katmandu and trying to sort out insurance covers /claims etc to get well enough to then catch alternate flights home. I hope the insurance cover they bought stacks up, as it wasn't cheap.

I am he, fear me
Sorry to hear that and good they will be OK... an acquaintance from over here of mine is up in the Himalayas at the moment doing the same thing, trekking to Everest Base.
I'm to old and fat now but certainly a worthy goal IMHO, certainly not for the faint of heart (or any heart condition for that matter)
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

You're never too old. Just take Chewy, a long lead and a walking stick for those 'challenging moments.'
Remember, if there's no pics, it didn't happen. lol.

When I worked at BHP in the city, a guy there, think he was a geologist, was training for Everest. We all worked above the 10th floor, most on around 20. He always took the stairs everytime he had to go somewhere always the stairs. Lost a few toes & fingers and didn't make it to the top. Poor bugger, but what memories.

Dunno if them Sherpa dudes could carry enough meat for Chewy so he wouldn't snack on 'em.
If I did go I would be hiring a Chopper for a flight and a 30 second stop at Base Camp for a piccy and then back to Lukla or Kathmandu
Plenty of Ghosts up there tho and I wouldn't want to join them (I think 5 died in the climbing season this year alone and they can't get them all out).
Poor buggers, their remains would be higher up than Base Camp tho.
You can only attempt the summit for a short period (around May I think it is) but even making the Base Camp would be box ticked that not many others down the local Pub would have.
