Year 5, Day 149 “Living the Dream”. Friday, 9/26/2025 – The Wellington. The trim is going up quickly. It is amazing how finished this home is looking. Trim certainly makes a huge difference.
I have to give a shout out to Allianz annual Travel Insurance. We always buy travel insurance for our specific vacations. We purchase it either through the cruise company or through the travel agent if we use one. Note: The only travel agent we ever use to book a cruise is Vacations to Go. Mostly we book our cruises directly through the cruise companies and all other travel arrangements are made by me. We have bought Allianz trip insurance for extending our time in another country. This applies after a cruise or before it. Last March we decided to buy an annual policy through Allianz Travel Insurance. We chose not to purchase the individual trip cruise insurance anymore. We purchased their AllTrips Premier Plan for an annual premium of $485.00. We had heard really good reviews about them from many travelers. Well, we had the chance to use it when MSC canceled a cruise on September 10, 2025. It was scheduled to sail from Barcelona, Spain on 4/22/2026. This cancellation happened due to ongoing geopolitical instability in the Red Sea region. Safe passage through the Red Sea and Suez Canal could not be guaranteed. We had already booked three different airline flights, two cruises, and multiple hotel stays already. I was able to get back all miles and money paid in advance, except for one American Airlines economy flight. We were penalized $198.00. I put in a claim online with Allianz. They processed the claim and deposited the money right into one of our bank accounts within 24 hours. How impressive is that. If needing trip/travelers insurance I would not hesitate to buy their insurance online. They do have different limits, but getting a quote is fast and easy.

I just feel so amazed at the quick convenient claim handling. This was a little tiny claim and I hope we never have to use any of the medical evacuation coverages.
On another note the refurbishment of the mobile home next door continues. Looks like the insulation is being replaced.
