did you know
Vacationing?
Think Twice Before
Leaving Home
Without This
When HAC members Joe and
Jo-Ann set out for a long,
relaxing vacation in Mexico,
they looked forward to days
spent in the sun and nights
spent under the stars. What
they weren’t expecting was
a trip to the hospital shortly
after their arrival. Although
they didn’t expect such an
event, they had still come
prepared with the #1 thing to
pack on a trip abroad:
Travel Insurance.
as told to Katie Cardner
“We went to Playa Del Carmen,
Mexico for two weeks on January
28th. The next evening, we went
out to dinner. I invited Joe’s son
to come down from California
to spend one of the weeks with
us. We hadn’t even ordered
dinner yet, so I stopped by the
bathroom. Everything in the
Caribbean is tile or marble. There
was a little lip before you walked
into the bathroom. I didn’t see it
and I tripped over it. I broke my
left wrist and my right leg at the
tibia plateau.
I ended up getting a wheel
chair. I got some stuff from our
room and then we went to a
private clinic. Before they even
let you in, you have to give them
credit card that has at least
$4,00
