Travel Insurance

Since we are taking off on a 16 day cruise around Europe from Barcelona to Stockholm with Oceania Cruises in May we have been looking into getting travel insurance. There are lots of options. We finally bit the bullet and got Travelex's Travel Lite policy. It is going to cost us around $575. We think we needed it. Lots of experienced people recommended to us that we get it. We are concerned most about getting sick or having a family emergency somewhere along the way although there are lots of other unlikely but possible bad things that could happen. We are scheduled to stop in Cartoonville in Denmark and who knows if it will have been burned to the ground by then or, worse, be burned to the ground while we are there. So, hopefully, our bases are covered with this policy although we waited too long after booking the cruise to get it. Since we waited past the deadline to order it we are precluded from the bankruptcy and pre-existing medical parts of the policy.

We are really looking forward to the trip. Almost as much as we are to spending the summer at Brainard Lake. then hitting the road to see the USA.
