Hi, everyone.
Also posted on the soon-to-be-defunct- CL BB, where I thought I'd take a last opportunity to mine the "source of all knowledge" before it goes away. My choir will be taking a trip to northern Italy next summer; we’ll be performing Verdi’s Requiem. There's regular trip insurance, which protects you if you or a family member becomes ill and has to cancel. There's also a (more expensive) "cancel for any reason" policy, which gives you some protection if you want to cancel for other reasons, such as fear of terrorism or Zika virus, etc. Both are offered by Travel Guard.
I haven't traveled much. Do any of you experienced travelers have a recommendation which I should purchase?
Per TestKitchen45’s request, here are the trip details: The trip starts in Milan. On Day 2, we have a choice of side trips (1) Lake Maggiore and Palazzo Borromeo (free time in Stresa with a visit to Palazzo Borromeo and Gardens); (2) Isola Comacina (with a 6-course lunch at Locando dell'Isola) and a visit to Villa Balbianello; (3) art tour of Milan, with visits to S Maria della Grazie (convent which is home to The Last Supper), and a guided tour of the Pinacoteca Brera; (4) free time on one's own.
I'm leaning toward #1 or #2; if you've been to either (or both), please feel free to comment and/or recommend!
We also wil have: a cruise on Lake Como; transfer to Venice (visits to St Mark's Basilica, Rialto bridge and market, and excursion to Murano); transfer to Verona , with excursion to Sirmione.
Thanks, and I've enjoyed "meeting" all of you over the years on the BB. Hope to continue here on the new site; thanks to all involved with setting it up!

Just a thought for you, especially if there are any health issues that anyone has to begin with.
