Why You Should Always Get Travel Insurance

You should always take out travel insurance when travelling abroad. That is a simple fact. If you still aren’t convinced, then let me share some reasons why travel insurance is so important.

Covers Medical Expenses While Abroad
One of the main reasons to get travel insurance is that it means that you don’t need to pay money for medical bills should you get ill on a vacation. One in three of the claims made on travel insurance is medical related. You might think that you are going to be perfectly healthy and that nothing will happen on vacation, but things that you can’t predict can and often do happen. From something as simple as getting food poisoning or tripping to more life-threatening illnesses and injuries, it is always best to have travel insurance just in case something happens. Things can start to add up to incredible amounts, and you don’t want to have to pay out of pocket for these expenses. You want to get well again and get back to enjoying your vacation.

Covers The Cost Of Getting You Home If Needed

This point is the obvious next step from medical expenses, but it is worth pointing out that travel insurance will pay for the cost to get you home if you can’t take your planned flights. For example, a British citizen was forced to get an air ambulance to the UK due to multiple fractures and a tear in one of their arteries. The cost of the treatment and transport home totals £500,000. This is not a bill that you want to receive after you have just survived a life or death experience. However, if you don’t have travel insurance, then that could happen. Travel insurance will cover the cost of treatment and transport home, so you don’t have to.

Covers Lost or Damaged Luggage
Aside from medical costs, travel insurance can also cover lost or damaged luggage when travelling. If your suitcase goes missing or it and its contents are damaged, then you can receive compensation.This will mean that you don’t have to pay out of pocket for new clothes and other vacation essentials. This will instead be covered by the company that you took the travel insurance out with. If you don’t have travel insurance, then you could take out a small loan to pay for everything, but if you have travel insurance, then you won’t need to. If your bag gets stolen while on vacation, then your travel insurance may also cover this as well. Baggage is often an extra on your travel insurance that you need to pay a little more for, but it is well worth it just in case something happens.

Covers The Cost of Delays and Cancellations
Another thing that travel insurance covers is the cost of delays and cancellations. Just in case your flights are cancelled or delayed, then it is worth paying a little extra to add these to your travel insurance. How much and what this covers will be detailed in your specific travel insurance as one will differ from another.

So, should you pay for travel insurance? You will have to make that choice, but it certainly appears to be a wise choice.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
