Picture this: you plan your dream trip, you have your entire
itinerary all squared away, you've put out thousands of dollars in
airfare, hotel rooms and tour packages. Then, tragedy strikes. A
family member gets very sick. Or, an earthquake decimates your
destination. Suddenly, you have to cancel your vacation. And all your
plans, not to mention all that money, go to waste.

protect your investment should misfortune occur. But how does it
really work? We got some folks at the Consumer Reports Travel Letter
on the phone to explain the situation to us.
