My daughter just did a RTW trip and the best insurance hands down was World Nomads. Not expensive, can extend days covered during your trip, covers many activities that other companies don't (eg. kayaking) and also has coverage for theft of small electronics (Up to $500). She had her cell phone stolen in South Africa and filed a claim. They covered it without any problems and had her money in about 45 days. She also had some medical issues in Vietnam and again.. No problems.
