Travel Insurance

Hi I am going to talk today about Travel Insurance.  I live in Minnesota and you probably heard no spring for us!
You would never think this time of year you would have a major issue getting on your flight or as many experienced not getting back from vacation.
While for many of us that seems like it isn't a problem but when you have no where to stay and you are stuck at an airport, being forced for many having to purchase a one way ticket home because your airline no longer services that area.  It is a nightmare.
I am currently in Punta Cana for a work trip, I was on a 7am Delta Flight on Saturday morning, the weather did not look good so I cancelled my shuttle, my flight and the hotel I was going to pre night at, however 15 minutes later the forecast did not look good for Sunday so I called Delta Vacations once again and asked to be put on my old flight.  They were great no shaming the travel agent for changing her mind!  I called my shuttle company Executive Express out of St Cloud MN and they put me on a 3:30am shuttle. 
Our flight left late as they had to de-ice then wait, and it was a bumpy flight but I arrived at my destination, just alittle late.
However not everyone was so lucky many, many flights were cancelled.  So that is just one reason travel insurance will help you out, lets hope we do not get another snow storm in April but remember you can not control Mother Nature, sickness or even death in a family.
It might seem like an extra expense but when you have an issue it sure comes in handy.

So how is Punta Cana, amazing and kind of warm, but I guess it is better than shoveling snow!  I am staying at the Riu Palace Macao, until Wednesday then off to Breathless! 
A huge part of being a successful travel agent is to actually experience and learn about the destinations, which is what I am doing.  This is a great resort, several pools, beautiful beach, great food.  The first night we had lobster tail and it was very good.  One of my favorite things is in the lobby they have alittle food area, I just had a chocolate croissant and a great coffee! 
Punta Cana is in the Dominican Republic, about a 5 hour flight from MSP. 
So I will continue about life on the Harmony of the Seas I just felt the need to talk about our recent storm.  I always offer travel insurance to my clients, especially those with health issues because if you do not get it right away you can not get the cancel for any reason or pre existing condition.  So think about it next time.
Thanks Cindy
