Last Chance To Vote For Your Favorites!
By Wendy Perrin
It's the last day you can vote for your favorite travel blogs in the 2007 Travel Blog Awards. A panel of judges -- namely, John Brownlee of Table of Malcontents; Matthew Daimler of SeatGuru; Henry Harteveldt of Forrester Research; Darryl Jenkins, a veteran aviation consultant; Michele McDonald of Air Transport World; and Michael Miller of The Velocity Group -- voted The Perrin Post one of five finalists in the category of Best Informative/Practical Travel Blog.
The winner will now be chosen by the general public. That means you! And when you can make a difference, shouldn't you seize the opportunity? Cast your ballot before 5 p.m. E.S.T. today by clicking here. Don't want to vote? It's still worth checking out the smart and imaginative sites on the list. I've discovered some terrific ones, including three of my competitors: Cheapest Destinations, Cranky Flier, and Today In Travel. The other competitor, View From The Wing, has been required reading for travel dorks like me for years now. Good luck to everybody! The more of us out there enabling savvy travelers to share make-or-break-your-trip advice, the more empowered we will all be when we travel.

Dear Wendy,
I love your magazine and know that if there is an answer to my question, you will have it. Do you know of any travel insurance providers who would provide insurance for coverage for any reason a trip is cancelled and not just the typical reasons (e.g. illness/death of family member)? I realize it would be more costly and that's fine, but I don't even see that it's available. The reason I ask is because my husband and I have an elderly pet. He's truly a member of our family and has been with us for years, but in the event of a serious illness or his death we may need to cancel a planned vacation. It is not unusual for us to take a couple of rather expensive vacations each year, with many aspects of the trips nonrefundable. Do we have any options for travel insurance? Thank you for your assistance.
