We should all be this lucky!

Hi Guys,  I know we promised you we wouldn't bug you anymore about Travel Insurance, but something just happened this past week and we thought it's worth mentioning...

A couple who was scheduled on one of our upcoming September Tours (yes, one of the tours you're on) just called us and had to cancel because of a health/medical issue... And as we always do, we referred her to their Travel Insurance provider to put in a claim for a refund... This is when she told us she never bought the travel insurance!!!  

It just so happened, we got a call a few days prior from another couple who wanted to go on this September Tour to celebrate their wedding anniversary...  but as you know, we were sold-out, so we put them on a waiting list... This was a very lucky coincidence for both couples as we were able to accommodate the new couple by brokering the exchange. This doesn't always happen... especially this close to departure!  So these folks with the medical issue got lucky... They would have been out almost $8000...  

Once again we only mention this, because as you know, we can't do refunds...

Very Important Information about Travel Insurance - (in case YOU need to cancel). No one ever plans to cancel their vacation, but all too often we hear stories that remind us of the need to cover situations and emergencies that lead to personal travel cancellations. We strongly urge you to purchase simple, low cost travel insurance immediately to cover your investment in your vacation. We remind you that, with our unique business model and our small boutique operation, it's impossible for us to absorb the cost of YOUR cancellation. Avoid this problem and have peace of mind with a simple, low cost travel insurance policy. You can easily buy Travel Insurance on the internet wherever you choose. For over 20 years we have personally used and recommend InsureMyTrip.com 

If you haven't bought Travel Insurance, we strongly urge you to buy it now... It's very inexpensive for the coverage it provides... We can't force you to buy it, and we'd always try to help you in any way we can like we did for the couple mentioned above... But again, we can't provide refunds, and this close to departure, the likelihood that you'd be as lucky as this couple are slim...
