Everywhere you are going will treat tourists until they are fit to travel - so you want to make sure your 'travel insurance" includes an emergency trip home in that eventuality.<BR/><BR/>Really shop around- the prices for the same coverage vary widely. Rick Steves must offer something and, unless the price is way out of line that might be your best way to go.<BR/><BR/>Mostly what your insurance handles is out of pocket expenses for unexpected hassle - the fee the airline charges to change a flight, an extra night's hotel to wait for lost luggage - that sort of thing. <BR/><BR/>Also - in the 14 months you have to prepare, be sure everyone knows what you want for your birthday and for Christmas - EUROS!!! Euros tucked nicely into a birthday card. Not dollars - that would be tacky...<BR/><BR/>Keep me posted--- it sounds exciting!<BR/>KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
