CSA Expands Coverage
CSA Travel Protection announced that its newly enhanced travel insurance products and services include acceptance of pre-existing medical conditions prior to or within 24 hours before final trip payment.
That's a huge benefit for consumers booking cruises or tours. Many insurance policies either exclude pre-existing conditions or exclude them unless the customer pays for the trip months in advance.
"Millions of people will be planning for, or embarking on, a cruise this year, and they plan early. With so much time between the initial trip deposit and final payment, we feel travelers deserve some flexibility in finalizing details," said Les Maine, CSA chairman and president.

Help for Travelin' Moms
Parents know that taking a trip with a baby can be a nightmare. Often, the baby fall asleep in the car or plane and the pacifier falls out. As a result, the baby often wakes up.
Now, one Connecticut mother whose son kept waking up on a trip has developed The WubbaNub Infant Pacifier. The manufacturer says the pacifier will stay in the baby's mouth even while your bundle of joy is asleep. Thus, the baby has peaceful uninterrupted sleep.
The WubbaNub is available nationwide through specialty stores, boutiques, catalogs and online retailers. It was first launched in the FAO Schwarz flagship stores, including those in Nevada, San Francisco and New York. Kitson in Los Angeles is also carrying the product.
