A Stormy Vacation

While the Caribbean is the "most feared" hurricane-season destination, 64% of travelers said they would be willing to visit a destination in the hurricane zone if it meant significant savings.

If you like traveling, check out the article Part of vacation planning includes Emergency preparedness plans! by Terrie Modesto on the blog "Train For A Hurricane". The author points out that many travelers will visit the Caribbean during Hurricane season and sometimes you get caught in a foreign country with a storm headed your way. This happened to a friend of my wife during his honeymoon.

Do you have trip insurance? Will your hotel stay open or force you into a shelter? What is your airline's policy for getting you back home? Very likely you'll be on space available standby and it can take days to obtain available seats with no guarantees.

Bottom Line
Preparedness is not just for home. If your wallet/ID/passport are stolen on vacation, do you have photocopy backups in your suitcase? You will find it very difficult to get money and board a plane with no ID.

If someone gets sick do you know your insurance company's policy for doctors and hospitals while away from home? Do you have to call to get approval prior to treatment or find a doctor within your plan? If you are traveling outside your home country, call your insurer before you leave to find out the rules for coverage in a foreign country.
