Everyone who buys travel insurance from us gets a copy of “The Consumer’s Guide to Having a Successful Travel Insurance Claim With These 9 Travel Insurance Claim Tips” about a month before you leave. Tip #9 is about Baggage coverage.<\/p>\n

Have you ever had your baggage lost or stolen? If so, it’s nearly impossible to remember what you packed. Especially when you are under stress.<\/p>\n

Tip #9 says: “Before you close your suitcases, take photos of the contents so you have an accurate list for a claim.”<\/p>\n

Do this for both checked and carry-on baggage.<\/p>\n

I’ve travelled a lot and always checked a bag. However, in November 2023, we took a 12 day repositioning cruise on the Azamara Onward from Lisbon, Portugal to Fort Lauderdale and as an experiment we only took carry-ons.<\/p>\n

It worked so well, we did the same thing for a trip to Florida earlier in the summer. From now on, I’ll only do carry-ons. I encourage you to try it.<\/p>\n

If you can’t make the leap to carry-ons right away, do this that I did for years: Pack your clothes and get rid of one-third of them before leaving home.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you are going to Lisbon, here’s a very nice restaurant that we found called “39 Degrees”. Their website is in Portuguese: https:\/\/39degraus.pt\/<\/a>, but if you go to their online Menu (https:\/\/39degraus.pt\/menu\/<\/a>) you can see pictures of the food. Plus, all their staff speak English. Here’s their Facebook, too: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/39Degraus.pt\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, if you like Egg Custard, you’ll like these: https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pastel_de_nata<\/a>.<\/p>\n
