When investing your vacation dollars, we recommend travel insurance
Travel Protection is the smart way to invest in your travels. Coverages “cover the span” of needs. Pre-existing conditions (health status) for many travel insurance companies will require selecting your preferred coverage within a 14-day window. If you do not have a pre-existing health condition, ensure you have adequate insurance coverage.

Be sensible.
Thanks to today’s weather-tracking technology, odds are slim that you’ll be caught in a hurricane. That said, we recommend that you avoid making a hurricane-prone destination a critical piece of your adventure, e.g., a destination wedding in August in Key West, Florida.
Hurricane season is technically June 1-November 30. The busiest part of hurricane season varies from region to region. In the Eastern Caribbean and along the U.S. East Coast, the season is usually busiest from June to November. In the Western Caribbean, hurricanes pick up from mid-September into early-November.
