This type of insurance is available to anyone who wants peace of mind that they will be compensated if anything does crop up that may cause their plans to be derailed.<br /><br />Here are several areas that may warrant the purchase of vacation travel insurance:<br /><br />1. Trip Cancellation or Interruption<br />2. Flight Connection was missed due to airline schedule<br />3. Travel Delays due to weather<br />4. Medical Emergency and hospital care (Accident or Sickness)<br />5. Baggage Delay or Loss<br /><br />As indicated above, any of these situations can occur during your travel schedule and can become very disruptive to your vacation plans.If you have ever heard of a flight being canceled without notice or multitudes of passengers on a cruise ship experiencing a widespread illness, you know that it can happen to anyone. Those that have the foresight to take out travel insurance will still experience the disruption, but will be compensated based on their policy.<br /><br />Gravity Gardener<br /><br />http://gravitygarden.com/why-we-need-insurance/vacation-travel-insurance.htmlGravity Gardenerhttp://gravitygarden.com/why-we-need-insurance/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274782648018949782.post-78357912726084549222008-03-02T00:54:00.000-08:002008-03-02T00:54:00.000-08:00Globalbagtag.com, the world leaders in internet ba...Globalbagtag.com, the world leaders in internet based luggage tracking, has developed a RFID enabled luggage tag for tracking lost luggage worldwide via the internet at http://www.globalbagtag.com<BR/><BR/>This is the latest innovation by the forward thinking company, which was established in 1999 to combat the growing problem of lost baggage and has sold their unique luggage tags to travelers around the globe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274782648018949782.post-49841955213691209212007-12-03T10:53:00.000-08:002007-12-03T10:53:00.000-08:00Note to Deborah: Ira was kidding...he and I have a...Note to Deborah: Ira was kidding...he and I have an ongoing joke about the mis-understanding of independence of certain probabilities. Having said that, I'd better go do my shopping. The weather forecaster said there was a 50% chance of rain yesterday and a 50% chance today. Since it didn't rain yesterday, you know that means the rain is coming today! ;-)Alan Salzberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028973293777181756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274782648018949782.post-12095244346794097212007-12-02T07:46:00.000-08:002007-12-02T07:46:00.000-08:00The outcome of one random event does not effect th...The outcome of one random event does not effect the outcome of another, so no, the next traveler to Budapest does not have a greater chance of having her luggage lost. <BR/><BR/>For example, when you toss a coin, and get heads, there is still a 50% chance of getting heads on the next toss. Moreover, if you toss a normal coin ten times and get 10 heads, there is still a 50% chance of getting heads on the eleventh toss! -DeborahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274782648018949782.post-16511601760664044822007-11-22T07:28:00.000-08:002007-11-22T07:28:00.000-08:00Well, since we do not fly anymorewe do not have to...Well, since we do not fly anymore<BR/>we do not have to worry about this<BR/>issue. :-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17387867134285769149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274782648018949782.post-61967350021602950192007-11-22T04:47:00.000-08:002007-11-22T04:47:00.000-08:00Budapest, huh?

That increases the chances that the next traveler to Budapest will have a lost bag. Doesn't it?Ira Skophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504390695947727903noreply@blogger.com
