It’s always the last thing that you think about when traveling.
You dream the destination, plan the trip and buy all the useless travel junk you think need and probably will never take out of your suitcase.
You head off toward the airport and something in the back of you mind is telling you something….
Ah that’s it, tell the neighbors to fed the cat, dog (and any other pets) oh and don’t forget the newspaper (check) got that stopped for the time we’ll be away.
Ok, what else?
It’s strange but until you’re in a foreign country and your bag decides that it too want’s a holiday ( just not in the same destination as you) do you realize that one little thing you were supposed to sort out before tearing across town to get to the airport on time.
It’s only now after a long flight that you understand that packing an extra set of clothes into your carry on luggage instead of that book and snacks would come in handy.
And…you got off lightly compared to other travel misfortunes.
Yes, we’ve all heard the statistics of having a plane crash but I wasn’t being that dramatic!
We’ve personal lost luggage on a couple of our trips and know of friends who have had to come home for emergencies . All of which (in our cases) covered by our travel insurance.
Traveling without Travel Insurance is like playing “Russian Roulette” – Sure, you think your saving a little money and that it will never happen to you…..
Until it does and your left high and dry.
Don’t even get me started on medical and overnight stays in foreign countries. This kind of misfortune can have you selling the house to pay the debt.
Be smart and get it sorted the same day as you buy your tickets, nost Travel Insurerers offer an Aunal Travel Insurance policy and it can work out to be quite a saving if you do a lot of travel so look out for it or ask your Travel Agent to sort it out for you.
What you don’t have a travel agent? oh-no!
