With hurricane insurance, travelers don’t have to wait until the weather ruins their vacation to get their money back. AS the first storms of the Atlantic hurricane season began to swirl toward the Caribbean last month, I was booking a last-minute getaway to my favorite beach in Puerto Rico.
Asking for it, you say? Perhaps. But it wouldn’t be the first time I visited a hurricane-prone destination at the height of hurricane season, which typically peaks in August through October.
Six summers ago, when my husband and I honeymooned on the Riviera Maya, a slice of the Mexican coast on the Caribbean, a tropical storm threatened our thatched-roof cabana. Rather than flee, we ducked into the resort’s spa as ominous storm clouds rushed in and the hotel staff gathered the pool chairs. When we emerged relaxed and refreshed a couple of hours later, the wind and rain had subsided and the sun was peeking out.
