Travel Insurance in the Golden Years
Retirement is a time of life when many people seize the opportunity to travel to destinations that they have always had their heart set on but never had the time to visit before. As life expectancy rises, and along with it the retirement age, the age of jetsetters embarking on these travels goes up too. Whether your dream holiday involves lounging on a beach, Pina Colada in hand, or donning a backpack and exploring distant lands, over 70s travel insurance is an important part of preparation.
Many people believe that the price of travel insurance soars the older you get – and this notion could put many off venturing abroad. However, shopping around for a policy that is tailored to your needs can cut costs and allow you to jet off into the sunset worry free.
There are numerous different options available to you when selecting comprehensive travel insurance policies, and ticking all the right boxes is extremely important for over 70s. Holidaymakers with chronic illnesses, or those who are concerned about an old injury or ailment resurfacing while they are overseas should opt for a policy which covers pre-existing medical conditions. Just knowing that you are covered should anything come up will give you peace of mind so you can get on with enjoying your holiday worry-free.
Another important feature to look out for is guaranteed contact with English-speaking experts. While one of the attractions of many faraway countries is exploring an exotic culture, being in an unfamiliar medical environment can be unsettling. A good insurance policy will ensure you have access to guidance and support in times of need.
You can also save money on over 70s insurance by specifying the type of trip – if you are planning on parachuting off cliffs and quad biking on an adventure holiday you should expect to pay more than someone who is looking for a tranquil getaway, for example. There is also cover available for holidays with a specific purpose, such as weddings and golfing, as well as cruises – which can save you a lot of money in the long term.

New Search Coming
Soon we’ll have a new player on the search market. Wolfram|Alpha. Alpha probably being their testing name but it is a bit of strange name.
Anyway, let’s see what they can do!

Split it up!
This could be obvious to some but I think it is a good idea to keep in mind when packing a suitcase or suitcases for those traveling in pairs or more and with a few cases coming along with them.
Given that it is entirely possible that your luggage could go astray during your journey, and it often does, it’s probably a good idea to pack a few things of your own in your companion’s luggage. Luggage can go missing occasionally. It often does when traveling on multiple airlines or carriers that are not in some sort of alliance or agreement of cooperation.
You could put some underwear/panties, shirt, pants, toiletries, shoes and socks in each others’ bags. If one of your bags goes walkabouts, then at least you have something to change into on arrival. That’s assuming all the bags don’t go missing!
I once spent 2 days in terrible tacky clothes that barely fit me when I was young after my bag didn’t make it with me to my destination. I was traveling alone at the time so there wasn’t much I could have done apart from taking some things with me in my carry-on.
Hope your bag makes it with you on arrival!

Heineken Brewery Tour
A fun thing to do in fantastic Amsterdam if you have a couple of hours to spare and enjoy beer, is to do a tour of the Heineken Museum Brewery – www.heinekenexperience.com. The tour started in 2001 and is done in the former Heineken brewery which is now a national monument.
It’s great! They take you through the old brewery explaining their brewing method, show you videos detailing the whole brewing process and give you beer at the end of the tour.

Something tells me these guys either don’t know their rights or aren’t too concerned with having extra arms…

Robert Mugabe is an Idiot
Plain and simple.
It’s a crying shame really what’s happening over there in Zimbabwe. A once prosperous nation is on its knees due to the bumbling idiotic paranoid Robert Mugabe. What’s worse is that there are bigger idiots than him, clearly, the ones voting for him. They also need their heads checked. Whether so many people could vote for him is debatable. How could such an idiot garner so many votes? Inflation is in the 100s of thousands, unemployment rife and empty store shelves are everywhere. To me, it’s a clear indication that even though he “lost”, he’s still rigging the vote and doing it so badly that he still lost the election. Now that is a moron!
Now will you Zimbabweans please stand up and rise against this idiot! Clearly, no one else is going to do it. The sooner the better!

VW Disappoints
We’ve just had a little boy about 4 months ago. Cute little guy with his very own room and everything. We have 2 cars. One is a big fat truck which is great and the other car is a VW Citigolf, the Golf V 1 – yes they still make them here. For some of you, you might remember it as the Rabbit.
Anyway, we’ve always taken the little guy around in his car sear in the truck without any hassles. The truck had to go in for a service a few days ago so I was left with the VW for the day and had to go out quickly with the little guy in toe. Well to my surprise, I found out that the seat belts in the VW are too short to strap his seat in. Now what kind of car company manufactures a low end car, and therefore more affordable for younger people who are more likely to have newborns, that cannot have a baby seat strapped in properly? Really? Are you guys that useless in Development that you hadn’t thought of the length of the belt or were you too busy chopping 2 feet off the strap to boost your profits only to put my son’s life in jeopardy???
Come on VW, you’re German, you can do better than that! What’s happened to your reputation as German engineers???!!!
