[Blindtlk] Cruises

[Chasity Jackson]

I'm really glad to hear people's opinions about purchasing travel insurance. 
Your all make very valid points, and now that you mention it, I intend to 
purchase some travel insurance. It is relatively cheap, and this far in 
advance, it's not a bad idea at all. Thanks for pointing this out.
