Travel insurance is worth the cost. \u00a0i bought some very inexpensive coverage (i think around $20 per person) when I purchased our airline tickets, mostly to protect us in case luggage was lost or flights cancelled, but having my kids with me, also made me more cautious. if you have a chronic condition or have health challenges, you might consider purchasing a more comprehensive plan, but most are under $100 per person that include medical evacuations and coverage up to $15,000.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">i have also filed the claim under my private insurer and am curious to see what they pay, if any, but the travel should cover the full amount,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">3. Go ahead and seek treatment. \u00a0I fell on Thursday and we were scheduled to leave on Friday. \u00a0A couple of times, I considered toughing it out until we got home. \u00a0That would&#8217;ve been a really bad decision. \u00a0yes, it was a giant inconvenience, but hopefully it saved me from surgery or further injury by getting seen in-country.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<div style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mapsmemoriesandmotherhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1122.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mapsmemoriesandmotherhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_1122.jpg?resize=240%2C320\" alt=\"my broken wrist wrapped up at the hospital in Rekjavik\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">at the hospital in Rekjavik where they confirmed that I broke my wrist<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">It does make for a good story. i have been clumsy and accident-prone since childhood, so I could have just as easily broken my wrist my walking down the stairs in my house, but i now have a story souvenir.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">i felt quite foolish falling, but i did feel better when the nurse handed me a brochure in English about breaking your wrist. \u00a0I guess I&#8217;m not the only English-speaking idiot to venture to incredible Iceland.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mapsmemoriesandmotherhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0781.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mapsmemoriesandmotherhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0781-225x300.jpg?resize=240%2C320\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'helvetica neue' , 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m writing this one-handed, not the easiest task.
