Another Travel Adventure

We're off to ALASKA!! Can you believe it?! Frank and I are heading up there in a few weeks and I'm so excited. It's a bit of a change compared to most of our other trips. Typically we've only gone to places that are pretty heavily populated – and where I can get my morning coffee nice and easily. Not this time though! We're going to spend 4 nights out in the wilderness with a tour that will take us to see glaciers, wildlife and hopefully the beautiful Northern Lights. Frank is just excited about getting his meals cooked on a campfire. Now, don't think I've gone all rugged on you. The tour company sets up the tents for us, packs up when we're done and prepares all of the meals. I'm giving up some comforts, but not all. I'm not that crazy!

I do have a question for you though. Since Frank and I have had some issues with airlines in the past, I need to know if travel insurance will cover the chartered plane we need to take. You see, we fly into Juneau on a major airline, so I know we're covered for cancellation, delays and everything for that leg of the trip. However, I'm not sure how our trip insurance will work for the other flight. We need to get on a charter plane that will take us from Juneau out to the Wrangell-St. Elias Preserve. It is the only way to get up there and the company that does the flights makes the trip once a day when passengers come in. They have 2 airplanes and I don't think we should have an issue, but what happens if they are delayed because of the weather or a mechanical issue? I hope we get the same flight insurance coverage, because knowing our luck I wouldn't be surprised in the least if we were stuck trying to catch up to the tour and I'd have to find Frank a BBQ place or listen to his griping.
