Pack Your Bags! Get Some Travel Insurance With Me

 

I’m looking for good cheap travel insurance. I have a week before I leave for my holiday and I need to get a policy quick! I’m going to write about my experience trying to find a policy that will cover 2 adults for a 36 day trip. It’s a long holiday I know! If you ever have to look for insurance I hope that you can refer to this article and learn from my experience.

For every trip that I take I spend quite a bit of time organizing. I usually do a bit of pre-holiday shopping, get a haircut so I will look good on the beach and make a list of the items I need to pack. Before I start packing I get my travel insurance!

I am going overseas for an extended period of time and I’m hunting for comprehensive travel insurance package to keep me covered for any nasty eventualities on my trip. I like to start the process by writing down a few of the problems I am most worried about on my travel. This can vary on the type of trip that you are doing and the destination that you are going on.

If I was taking a ski holiday I might priorities cover for personal injury or damage to my ski equipment. This trip isn’t an action filled holiday, I might do a bit of snorkeling but my main concerns are:

1- Making sure I get to my destinations and home again in one piece (with all my luggage).

 

2- Cover for health/accident related problems that might occur.

 

3 -Having cover for any theft, loss or damage to my possessions while I’m away. Travelling for a month

 

means that I have a lot of luggage. I don’t want to worry about my precious laptop and camera!

Now that I have a few priorities I’m going to start my search.

Internet comparison websites really do make life a lot easier. I’ve carried out a couple of searches on Confused.com and MoneySuperMarket.com. The lowest prices for a travelling couple on a holiday longer than 30 days is about £40 pounds up to a maximum of £230 pounds for luxury travel insurance! I’m not going to consider the policies as I can see that the luggage cover values are too low.

Later I’ll need to check out the maximum single item cover limit for baggage as expensive single items such as laptops and camera might fall outside of some of these policies.

I’ve decided to use quotes from Confused.com only as I am pushed for time and they offer the largest comparison of insurers at the moment. If I had more time I would look at hitting up MoneySupermarket and others comparison sites as then I could get a larger comparison.

So here are my chosen runners -

TRAVEL INSURER Premium Medical Cancellation Baggage Excess

 

Travel Insurance Genie £57.20 £10 Mill £2K £1.5K £65

 

Travel Plan Online £57.50 £10 Mill £5K £1K £100

 

Swift Cover £62.19 £10 Mill £2K £2K £75

 

Direct Travel Insurance £72 £10 Mill £3K £1.5K £50

There is a £15 difference between the most expensive and least expensive policies. Looking at them closely it is going to be interesting to see what I can get for my money’s worth.

MEDICAL COVER

Medical cover for all the policies is pretty similar at £10 million. You might think that this is a lot of money but you have to keep in mind that it can be expensive paying for doctors and hospitals when abroad. Just as you don’t get to go to the Grand Canyon for free the US aren’t going to pay for your stay at the local hospital. Breaking your leg in other part so the Continent can be very expensive especially if you have to abandon your holiday and pay for alternative transport home.

CANCELLATIONS

UK weather has been pretty temperamental recently. I am not counting on a nice day for my departure so I’m keeping one eye on the forecast in case I have to set out a few hours early to make it to the airport. I haven’t noticed too many news items about flight cancellations but another bout of snow and ice could make trains and buses a trial. To be sure I want a decent amount of cover for cancellations.

Travel Plan Online has the largest provision for cancellations of the four with £5000. The first leg of our trip London to LA and I don’t think that a replacement flight would cost more that £2000. If you are planning on travelling business or first class you would need to have a higher cover amount for cancellations. For my purposes £2000 is just fine as my flights for the whole trip didn’t cost that much!

So looking at the competition so far the policies are level pegging, price aside.

BAGGAGE

It is difficult making a figure for the value of your suitcase contents…especially when I haven’t packed yet! Having written a list of what I will pack I think that if I lost all of my clothes, toiletries, camera, laptop and other gadgets I would be looking at over a £1000 to replace everything. The policies under investigation cover between £1000 and £2000 for baggage. So at the baggage hurdle Travel Plan Online has tripped up and fallen out of the race!

As Travel Plan Online didn’t provide a high enough value on baggage I am casting them aside. Interestingly enough Travel Plan Online had the highest excess £25 -£50 more than their competitors. If a customer have to make a claim for contents over £1000 the maximum pay out would amount to only £900!

Something to keep in mind for later is whether the survivors provide cover as new for old or 2nd hand value.

EXCESS

So the competition is down 3 insurers now with excesses ranging between £50 and £75. At this early stage I’m not swayed towards any one company so I’ll consider excess later in the piece if the running is close between contenders.

JUDGEMENT SO FAR

Here is my competition table after looking at the basic offers from comparison tables.

TRAVEL INSURER Premium Medical Cancellation Baggage Excess

 

Travel Insurance Genie £57.20 £10 Mill £2K £1.5K £65

 

Swift Cover £62.19 £10 Mill £2K £2K £75

 

Direct Travel Insurance £72 £10 Mill £3K £1.5K £50

I’ve considered price and checked if my basic requirements for travel insurance would be covered.

 

Travel Plan Online has been crossed out of the competition as in hindsight they would not be able to cover the whole value of my baggage.

If I had to pick a winner at this point it would be Travel Insurance Genie. Based on the bare facts their price is good, they offer a decent amount of medical cover, pretty good cancellation and baggage cover amounts too with a competitive excess at £65.

Next I want to do some research into the service and history of these companies and see if I can dig up any dirt on their performance! Stay tuned for more on my adventures shopping for travel insurance.

You Should Need Some Advice Before Traveling To Sardinia

Sardinia is a wonderful island, but you need some advice to fully enjoy its potential and have a unforgettable vacation either alone or with your family.

Sardinia is an Italian island located in the heart of the Mediterranean sea between the North African and the Italian mainland, second in size only to Sicily.
Long isolated, Sardinia has preserved its own character, landscape and traditions. Although predominantly hilly and mountainous in the Centre, with a few coastal plains, Sardinian coast has an incredible stretch of almost 2,100 Km of unspoiled landscape, where rugged cliffs and tiny coves alternate with miles of long, white sandy beaches. They are among the world’s most enchanting beaches where the seawater is gifted with aquamarine and emerald green shades. Thanks to its long seclusion and a reasonably low density human presence, Sardinia has preserved its spellbinding beauty, combining the scents and colours of oleander, juniper and myrtle bush with the most pristine and translucent sea water.

Undiscovered, with a natural outstanding frame, Sardinia plays an undisputed top of the list role among the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean.
Sea and sun tan lovers may visit Sardinia any time between April and October with July and August being the hottest months with an average temperature of 31° Celsius, although the coastal areas are often swept by a cool breeze.
Any time of the year is recommended for golfers, trekkers, climbers and those willing to explore the mountainous area of the island.

Hotels in Sardinia

A stay in Sardinia is easy to plan and there are several solutions to suit any expectations.
Local tour operators, like Hosteras, will help you by providing detailed information and pictures on all available accommodation ranging from hotels to farmhouses, B&B, camping and holiday apartments.

Most of the accommodations have been recently opened and are generally privately owned delivering a good quality service.
Along the coastline and by the most famous beaches, hotels and resorts boast a variety of facilities and services like pools, water sports as well as kids clubs and restaurants. A true paradise for families!

Camping in Sardinia is quite popular although the island itself doesn’t offer a massive number of campsites. All of them though are in the proximity of the sea or the beach and are the perfect fit for those looking for nature and sport.
Staying in a farmhouse would really be a true local experience interacting with the farm owners who, generally, don’t speak any other language than Italian and Sardinian however their great sense of hospitality will make communication very easy.

Mini-facelift: a Popular Procedure for Some Patients

Why is it called a Mini?

The mini-facelift is called a mini because it does most everything a full facelift does, but a little less so. It provides some correction of early signs of aging, but less than a full facelift and generally only in a focused area, especially the lower third of the face. There are two major positives for the mini-facelift to offset its limited impact.

First, the mini-facelift has a limited impact. This can be a positive thing, as it allows you to make a less noticeable change in your appearance. People may not know that you got a facelift unless you tell them. Second, the mini-facelift is a less invasive procedure. It uses small incisions to get targeted improvement of wrinkles and excess skin over smaller areas of the face than a traditional full facelift. This leads to a shorter recovery time with less risk of complications, making the mini-lift an ideal solution for people who can’t afford to take time off for a long recovery, but still want to stave off the signs of aging.

The mini-lift is performed under local anesthesia in the office. For some patients recovery is remarkably fast, maybe only a day or two. There may be some significant swelling and some pain, although usually much less than for a traditional facelift.

Who’s the best patient for a Mini-Facelift?

Because the mini-facelift does not provide the same level of correction as a full facelift, it really has two classes of patients for whom it is ideal. First, younger patients who have only begun to notice the signs of aging but may have significant wrinkling in particular areas of their face. Because of its subtle impact, a series of mini-facelifts over the years can give younger patients the same youthful appearance as a full facelift, but with subtler and more gradual changes, the appearance is more of graceful aging than drastic cosmetic surgery.

Why choose a mini-Facelift over injectables?

Since Botox cosmetic appeared on the scene officially approved by the EPA in 2002, injectable treatments such as fillers like Restylane have become increasingly popular, and now account for essentially half of all cosmetic procedures practiced. Has the growth of these treatments made minimally-invasive, lower-impact treatments like the mini-facelift obsolete?

Yes and no. The growth in injectable treatments has led to a decline in facelift surgeries, over 20% since 2000. However, it is important to remember that injectable treatments are performed so often precisely because they are less effective than a facelift or mini-facelift. Injectable treatments target only very localized areas, so often several treatments are necessary to give cosmetic improvements over the same area treated by the mini-facelift, let alone the traditional facelift. And most injectable treatments have an effective lifespan of only six months, compared to the five-year lifespan of a mini-facelift, or the ten-year lifespan of a full facelift, although results for individual patients vary.

Even though mini-facelifts are more expensive than a single injectable treatment and do require some downtime, the length of cosmetic improvement given by the mini-facelift makes it a good option for many people.

Zodiac signs and fitness, your sun signs can give you some helpful hints

Fitnessforworld: Zodiac signs and fitness, your sun signs can give you some helpful hints.

The fitness craze seems to have caught with everyone, be it a celebrity or just a face in the crowd. All are doing it that is sweating it out in the gym, the pool or the nearby stadium. On dinner tables they prefer to talk rather than eat. An interesting development indeed, but what’s depressing is that many of these people aren’t happy doing what they are. Get close and you will notice their face muscles held taut during the morning walk, a smile from them would but be an impossible dream, they are in fact cursing themselves for being blessed with a prosperous life (no prosperity, no evil temptations to binge, right?)

Giving up exercise isn’t an answer either…
That leaves us with no option but to get involved. And how do we get involved? Simple, just by finding an interesting activity, something that sounds play and not work. Confused still? Here’s some good news; your sunsigns can give you some helpful hints.

Aquarius : Tennis, basketball, trekking may sound interesting for them; the secret is that these people cannot work alone and love to have lot of people around, at least most of the time.

Another major need for Aquarians is to improve their circulation. So ideally they should pursue activities like running, swimming, dancing etc which strengthen their breathing capacities. And more…they get the desired results like excellent metabolism, raised immunity levels, glowing looks etc.

One warning though; these people are never happy settling down to routine. So even at a gym they have to be doing different kinds of exercises on different days to keep their motivation levels high.

Pisces : The fitness fight is a difficult one for Pisceans since they love to eat. It would be better if they keep away from pessimistic friends as they absorb the negativity a bit too fast and give up. One consolation though, Pisceans are excellent visualisers and they could motivate themselves towards greater fitness using this skill.

Since this is the sign of the fish, majority take to water activities swimming, surfing, rowing with great delight. Others would at least love to run by the beach. Fishes are also famous for graceful movements, so yoga would also suit fine. They also love to dare and may pursue horse-riding, dancing, skating, swimming often. All outdoor games, be it run and chase, cricket, kho kho will also agreed upon as long as they are challenging.

Though the gym is not the right place for them, Pisceans could be inspired by some great music and well designed exercise clothes. Even the promise of a relaxing sauna bath or a shower would motivate them to spend some more time at the treadmill. Dance being a great passion, step aerobics, aerobic dancing or even an evening at the disc will easily receive a “Let’s Go” from them.

Aries : These people love to get over things fast and also get immediate results. Unfortunately exercise doesn’t happen that way. Human body has got its limitations just like anything else. One advantage for these people is that they are always on the move and therefore do not put on weight easily.

Arians would do better by exploiting their strength, endurance, confidence and drive in tough activities like martial arts, wind surfing, football, basketball, gymnastics, boxing, skipping etc. Iron being their metal, even weight lifting would suit fine for them. While at the gym they should get into some strenuous activities to get rid off the stress.

However a major hitch is that these people consider everything as a challenge and don’t learn to take it easy.

Taurus : Bulls belong to yet another group that adores good, sorry rich food and lots of rest. No wonder they find it tough to fight the battle of the bulge.

Typical Taureans don’t love to work hard at the gym or the tennis court, they would rather walk or go cycling by the country side. They may choose swimming, not at the pool but the nearby stream. Nature is a greatest temptation for them since it relaxes them.
City dwellers should carry walkmans to the gym and listen to some inspiring music while working out. That releases the stress of keeping fit. If this isn’t enough, the promise of a neat aromatherapy massage at the end may inspire them to do a few more pushups or abdominal crunches.

For those reluctant Taureans, family members could provide a gentle push by persuading them to take the kids out to play or at least walk the dog. Tennis is out since it calls for quick movements but a Taurean will take up the gardening work happily.

Gemini : These people are basically restless, so staying fit should be an easy game for them. They love change and flexibility. Gymnastics, cycling, swimming, aerobic dancing should be instant choices with them.

Geminis may also settle for tennis, badminton, Frisbee since they love to work with a partner. These games also give them time and space to chat. Brisk walk is yet another activity these people wouldn’t mind.

Breathing is one area these people have to improve upon, since good breathing refers to strength. Aerobics or jogging can be pursued for better results. Slow activities like yoga aren’t for them but they would probably fare well at dance, gymnastics, basketball, or tennis since movements aren’t as slow.

One negative quality in Geminis is stress bingeing. They have to find a way to release excess stress and ensure they are calm before arriving at the dining table. If they cannot find something nice, they could even bite into an apple or guava to get their nerves in order.

The sign of the twins demands variety. A rigid exercise routine is out for them. Let them check out their choices and modify their schedule as they want.

Cancer : Water relaxes them; Cancerians simply love water sports like swimming, sailing, wind surfing and rafting. Even running on the beach would do for them as long they can keep in touch with water.

Hard driven exercise programs are out for these people. These sensitive souls need something more gentle, say stretching exercises. Water calisthenics would be best since it will soothe their nerves and strengthen them even more.

Cancer being the sign of the born nurturer, they love to cook, feed and eat really good food. A slight caution against good food will help them to stay in better shape.

Leo : They love to exercise but have to be pampered and persuaded, kings afterall. Hence these people would work better under a personal trainer. Music is a great passion with them, so they would find aerobic dance interesting.

These people like to have friends around but would love to be the focal point at health clubs. They are also competition lovers and spiritedly take part in basketball, tennis, golf or even power sports like kickboxing.

Last but not least, lions need to stretch a lot to feel better. Yoga, calisthenics, power walking would help them in this regard. Lions also shine well with a little sunshine. Naturally they don’t find winter sports like skiing, a great pleasure. Instead they would prefer to go cycling or horseriding in warmer climates.

Virgo : These busy bees hate to rest. No wonder they don’t find staying fit a great bother. Their only problem would be time but definitely not laziness. They would love to work out the stress and fat at the nearby gym rather than lie down looking at the stars. Virgos will however need the slow and balanced movements of yoga or meditation to cool down.

This is the class of strong men/women; endurance sports like hiking, cross-country skiing, long-distance running are made just for them.

A word of advice though, Virgos should not drive themselves so hard in the fitness race, but instead exert a little caution at the dining table. Yes, a balanced diet is what they need to get better and faster results. Let them have a nice meal and go for a walk or a bicycle ride.

Libra : He/she is the true party lover. But what these people forget is to rest. It would help if they remember that sleep is an important part of the fitness regime.

Librans love to exist in pairs (think of the two pans in a weighing scale); no wonder they love to have a gym buddy. You will find libran husbands pulling their wives or friends along to the pool or the squash court. Activities like squash, basketball, volleyball, dancing or sailing that calls for a partner would be fine with them.

Another important requirement for these people is to get their muscles strong and flexible. Golf, ball room dancing, gymnastics would help them achieve this need. One warning though, they may get a little carried away with all that socialising and forget to exercise!

Scorpio : These highly ambitious people demand some strenuous activities to help them release pent-up stress. They can take up boxing, long distance running or even the punching bag game. They would take up tennis or squash, but their partners’ better give quick responses.

Sometimes these people desperately need to be left alone to do some quiet thinking. Therefore working out alone in the gym is ok with them. Left alone, they peddle faster and that too non-stop at the stationery cycle and even race faster on the treadmill. This way they would burn both fat and stress quick enough! Of course they would need some relaxing activities like deep breathing or slow jogging to cool their ruffled nerves after a challenge.

Sagittarius : They love sports and also love to be outdoors most of the time. Any game is okay say kho kho, volleyball, cycling, skating; Saggis possess both inclination and speed. At the gym, these true extroverts will need some pals to get motivated.

They are great travel lovers; horseriding, rowing and rock climbing would be some of their preferred activities. Calisthenics may help them to keep their body flexible and strong enough to withstand stress.

One major warning though, these people will have to get over inertia to turn their exercise regimen a success. Else, they would keep coming up with new excuses until a really good reason or pal drags them to the gym.

Capricorn : These people again thrive on change and make adjustments almost immediately. Ideally, their fitness schedule should include a variety of activities, say jogging on Monday, swimming on Tuesday, lifting weights on Wednesday, so on and so forth.

Capricorn being an earth sign, these people need to be in constant touch with the ground. Activities like hiking, rockclimbing, golf would suit them fine. However they should be doing some stretching and weight lifting exercises at least now and then, to keep their bodies strong and agile.

Whatever they do, these people should always remember that they are doing them for self-improvement and not for competing with others. This will ensure that they don’t overdo!

Sound advice, but… These guidelines are based on gener al observations. Exceptions may always be found.
