I’ve been to Rome several times over the years and this never ceases to amaze me.

The Pantheon in Rome, not just an ancient marvel, but also the holder of the "World's Largest Unreinforced Concrete Dome" title for a whopping 1900 years—and counting! Talk about setting a record that’s hard to beat. It’s like the Pantheon looked at modern architects saying, “Top that, future people!” And let’s not overlook its party trick: every 21st of April, on Rome’s birthday (because every city deserves a cake, or at least some sunlight), the sun lines up perfectly with the oculus—basically the building’s eye—and blasts a beam of light right through the front door. It’s the Pantheon’s way of throwing the most exclusive solar-powered bash in honor of Rome, no RSVP needed.

So true - I’ve seen some huge insurance claims in my 37 years in the travel industry!

“If you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel!”

You’ve surely heard this one before, and now more than ever it’s true. Spending a few extra dollars will ensure you won’t have to reach into your pocket to fund unforeseen events such as lost luggage, medical problems and flight cancellations. Pre-existing conditions and any specific activities, such as skiing, can also be covered.

Discuss your travel insurance needs with your personal travel manager: https://bit.ly/3ZJ0qh7
