I needed to have a vacation.  I mean, I have a real job during the day, and I have a home business at night.  I have been looking into going to Europe, but there are some things I had to take care of first.

Before I go, I need to get travel medical insurance.  Why?  Well, when I consulted my insurance broker, he informed me that my regular health insurance didn’t cover me when I left the country.  You can get either full travel medical insurance or you can get supplemental insurance (which upgrades your current insurance policy to cover you abroad).  The coverage provided by the insurance policy covers everything from a simple visit to a doctor, to a long hospital stay.

Be sure on your next trip to get travel medical insurance to ensure that you are not caught unprepared if you should have a medical emergency.
