My wife and I have traveled with another couple for the last 15 -20 years. We get along great and in my wife's case know each other since childhood. Anyway, not to prolong the story, we had planned our vacation this year for Hawaii - several days on Honolulu and then a cruise around the other islands. A week or so before the trip the spouse of our travel companions had some bad results to medical tests she took and as it turns out needed open heart surgery. As a result of this we certainly did not want to travel while she was undergoing this procedure. After submitting all of our documentation to Nationwide, within less then two weeks and without any questions beyond the documentation we submitted, we received a check in full for our entire trip. That is service personified.

PS: Most important, our friend's wife had the surgery yesterday and is doing well. That is the best news!

Traveling with families can be risky. You never know when one of you might get sick. I always get travel insurance to cover our airline tickets and most important our rental house. You might be able to change your tickets but not usually rental houses.
