After breaking his ankle while scoping out gay safari possibilities in Botswana, Savvy Navigator got very, very lucky. He arrived home with a full-on fracture, yet did receive North American medical care and a cast on his leg until 5 days after the break. Luckily, SN did not have to deal with third-world hospitals, and probably was saved due to the high uppers on his hiking boots, which provided amazing support to the bad ankle while transiting numerous airports on the flights home.
While recuperating in January, his dear friend and stalwart traveler, Anny Hanny, found this terrific article in a recent New York Times Practical Traveler column. It’s the most compelling reason SN has read to date on the importance of purchasing comprehensive trip insurance. Click here to learn more about this important topic and read the NYT article.
