Being struck with some kind of illness or injury is one of the worst nightmares of any traveler. Not only can it be a very unpleasant experience, but one unfortunate injury or illness can cruelly cut short an entire trip, rendering months of planning and anticipation wasted. However, by investing in the right insurance it is possible to turn misfortune into a new adventure rather than an abrupt halt.

Around here, we use the month of February to ready ourselves – both personally and professionally – for our upcoming high tourist season.  Once we get rolling in the spring it becomes time-challenging to book appointments and such.  That’s not to say it can’t be done, it’s just much easier to get it out of the way, now, while we’re still moving slowly.  Included in this effort was my recent visit to my doctor for an annual exam.
