"I've broken my ankle, " she told me, crying in between her words. "And I didn't get travel insurance." What happened next was a nightmare of $15, 000 in hospital bills, a business class ticket purchased for the extra leg room on the way back, and months of financial worries that turned her dream vacation into a warning story that she still regrets three years later.The thing is travel insurance is not the exciting part of planning a trip and I understand that.
