Just In Case

Travel insurance is expensive. Seriously. I've never gotten it before because, well, I'm cheap. And I figured my employer-sponsored health insurance would cover any problems. But now that I'm doing the Galapagos Islands, the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, and a ridiculously priced trip to Antarctica, I am suddenly worried about recovering the cost of a canceled tour. And my current health insurance doesn't cover emergency evacuation (think helicopter transport from some iceberg in Antarctica). So I'm forced to consider the costs of various plans. To cover four months of travel, prices start at $650 and go up past $1500. Ouch.


I'm almost wanting something to happen just to get my money's worth out of this.
