Glad they got that covered.


Good times for beer with OH. Now sitting outside on the back deck getting some work done. I tried over by the Mac store but the distractions were too great (and their skirts too short) for me to focus on actually working. And unlike most of my recent life I actually have real deadlines on this stuff and they are all very short.

I've heard many insurances didn't pay up because of "act of god" clause.

That is pretty much what I am facing this afternoon. I am going to leave in about an hour. ^

The Rewards Comprehensive Trip Protector from Access America provides the following benefits and coverage amounts per person:

Trip Cancellation($300) provides reimbursement for prepaid, non-refundable expenses, up to the amount of coverage purchased related to trip cancellation caused by a covered reason.

Trip Interruption($1500) offers reimbursement for the unused, non-refundable portion of your trip and increased transportation costs for you to return home due to a covered reason.

Travel Delay ($500)provides reimbursement for meals and accommodations if your travel is delayed for 6 or more consecutive hours.

Change Fee Coverage ($300)provides reimbursement for change fees in addition to Trip Cancellation/interruption expenses.

Emergency Medical Transportation ($25,000)arranges and pays for the cost to medically transport you to an appropriate medical facility to receive care and to get you home after you have received care.

Emergency Medical / Dental ($25,000)pays for the cost of emergency medical or dental care incurred while on your trip. ($50 deductible)

24-Hour Emergency Hotline(Included)- A broad range of services to help you 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world, whether you need emergency cash, flight information, legal assistance, a message sent home or help dealing with a medical emergency.

Concierge (included)provides you with information about your destination before you travel and can help you select restaurants, reserve golf tee times or secure tickets to local events.


Reading through the T&C Here, it seems to say Natural Disasters
but I'm not a lawyer

My read is that natural disasters are not included in the trip interruption bit on page 7. Under travel delay on page 10 it looks like you're maxed out at $150/person/day.

There is also this clause in the exclusions list on p14: "any problem or event that could have reasonably been foreseen or expected when you purchased your plan." If they chose to press the case they'd probably claim that you knew there was a volcano so they can deny it. Dunno if they'd win or not; at $300/day it probably isn't worth fighting.

3rd Questions-wonder if that trip insurance thing might be worth it for this trip, hmmmmmm-it's only 50 bucks

I was just there this past weekend on a quick 2 day trip. We stayed at the Westin in Dublin which was the most ideal location for Dublin IMO. Another option is the Jury Inn's, I noticed a few of them and actually went into one when it started raining and the lobby was nice. Might be worth looking into as a lower cost alternative to the Westin. We also spent one night in the Hilton Charlemont Place. It was pretty far out of the way and wouldn't recommend it for a honeymoon. I'd also avoid the Hilton Kilmainham unless you are just there to see the prison (which was really cool). If you are on facebook friend me as I put up a handful of pictures, (Gabe Bryan). I had never done the hop on hop off bus in any city but after doing it in Dublin I will probably try it again. It took us to places we probably wouldnt have seen on our own with out a car like the prison and parks. A cab from the city to the airport was about 26 Euros but there is a bus that cost 6 Euros which we took on the way in and was very easy and fast. We had a early departure on Sunday so we opted for the cab back to the airport.

One last word of advise. Tell them to eat before 7 pm. The restaurants have set menus before 7 which run 15-20 Euros. After 7 the same meal (size and type) will run about 30 Euros each. We learned our lesson after the first night. My favorite place was The Shack Restaurant on 24 East Essex Street in the Temple Bar area. I highly recommend their early bird menu even though this is the place we at at late.
