My friend told me of an old co-worker we used to work with and his ordeal while in the Cancun, Mexico recently. He loved Mexico and traveled down there with his wife numerous times before. This recent trip was like all their other trips to Mexico, except on this one, he got extremely ill while there. He had some sort of bad infection and he probably shouldn’t have been traveling in the first place. Needless to say, they lost all there reservations money and had to pay extra for the changing of flights, so this vacation cost them a bundle. They didn’t have cheap travel insurance. I don’t think they ever did the numerous times they have been to Mexico. He turned out to be ok, but it took him awhile to feel 100 percent. I know now that they will definitely compare travel insurance and purchase some travelers insurance for any future trips anywhere. I feel bad about his getting ill and I am sure all the money they lost, made him feel worse. Traveling anywhere these days, it pays to have travelers insurance, you just never know.
