You stated the exact point we use to justify the expense of trip insurance: How much will you lose in the event you are forced to cancel? However, we do not buy an umbrella policy. Since we always plan our travel a la carte, we only cover the major things: airline tickets and condo rentals. Everything else is minor in comparison and not worth our worry. Just about all the travel sites offer insurance on airline tickets with barebones coverage for the usual emergency issues, and that is all we need. Most reputable real estate management companies (and even owner-operated) offer insurance for the condo rental. Get those two things covered and you have minimized your exposure.

Hi,
We will be coming to Hawaii in late April 2017 for the Norwegian cruise. My question is with the airline ticket prices now. We are traveling from Houston and the prices have risen drastically over the last month. When is the best time to buy?
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi Sandy,
About $850 nonstop or save up to $100 with one stop. Might improve if you wait and since that is after spring break, probably no harm in trying. Having said that, we aren’t seeing any great prices for fall or spring in that market, and thus aren’t confident it will get better.
Aloha.
