Have only bought travel insurance ONCE since 1990 - and this incident forever made me say "screw travel insurance"..
I chose the option where I can KILL the trip at ANY time,for ANY reason I could kill it wile the plane is boarding, if I wanted to..
Well, 3-4 days before our trip, a hurricane (Wilma?) WIPED out most of Cozumel,which was where we were headed.. the place we were staying was FLATTENED by the hurricane.. So,I decide to kill the trip 0 3 days in advance, while using the "any reason" option..
S, I get an email that says "you can cancel for ANY reason as long as you're not cancelling because a hurricane destroyed your resort.. Because a hurrican had wiped out our resort we were not allowed to cancel the trip
They automatically booked us at ANOTHER resort which even consulting us as to where we'd prefer staying.. According to them, the resort they booked us in was maybe $50 more for the week than the one that got destroyed..So, in their words they said they did US a favor..
We only go to Cozumel for the diving.. the resort we booked was 2 minutes away from most diving sites on the south side of Cozumel.. so, VERY easy and fast to get to the dive spots.. the resort they automatically was on the north end of the island, so either a 1 hour boat ride each way to get to the dive sites, or walking half a mile to a bus stop to take a bus to the dock, then try to find a boat/captain to take us to the dive sites because the resort they booked us in did NOt have a dive shop..
Now the funny thing was we took the bus and met a REALLY short and fat guy on the on the dock who ran a teeny tiny dive operation right off the dock.. The boat we used was - have you seen the movie "Splash".. our boat was the same size as the board tom Hanks fell off of.. it it couldn't get any weirder, the short fat guy shows us his hands and, so help me God, he had WEBBED fingers on both hands.. like a duck! Crazy, crazy trip..
The room we got was outstanding - two floors,loft, hot tub INDOORS on the first floor and an open snack bar.. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you I had 10 Bacon/lettuce/tomato sandwiches there.. just one after another - they were soooooo good..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
