Travel insurance is available from many sources, including your tour / cruise operators and individual insurance companies. Most tour / cruise operators and insurance companies sell plans from a single company only. They do not allow consumers to compare prices and coverages. Would you want to buy cruise insurance from a cruise company? At Total Travel Insurance you are able to compare prices of all major companies and select a plan that best suits your needs. Even our former competitors have chosen our system to offer their customers better value. We offer plans from including American International Group (AIG), Lloyd's of London, Stonebridge Casualty and Old Republic. Our system is unique in the industry. It dynamically changes the order of plans based on comparison of your trip insurance needs with the needs of thousands of other travelers. We sort plans based on three factors: What other travelers in an age and travel category similar to yours have purchased Our experience with plan administrators in paying claims Best level of protection afforded to you for the price (cheap is not necessarily the best) Our plans are prioritized based on how best they suit your needs, and not alphabetically or in plan cost order, as do other systems. Why do I Need Protection? You can start your trip without any insurance and thus insure yourself. But did you know that if you become ill abroad, costs to treat you would be very high. How would you find a doctor? Where would you find appropriate healthcare facility? Where would you seek advice? Did you know that HMO's, PPO's and Medicare typically do not cover you abroad? With one of our plans, you would be covered. Wouldn't trip insurance or cruise insurance make you feel better? Review certificate closely before you buy, receive instant quote, then policy (cover) and have a worry-free vacation. Frequently Asked Questions Researching trip cancellation insurance can be a daunting experience. That is why we created this section to list some of the frequently asked questions.

Like many students, I was on a tight budget on my first visit to Europe. Living in England at the time, I found a package deal through the Eurolines bus network that seemed to be what I was looking for. Eurolines is downright cheap compared with European rail passes. On England’s Eurolines web site, www.eurolines.com , you may see their inexpensive current rates for 15, 30 and 40 days. My mini-pass started and ended in London, by way of Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris. The advantages of traveling by train over bus include more legroom, more frequent opportunities to stand up and stretch, more destinations, and significantly more punctual schedules. In addition, sleeping cars are available, meaning you’ll be refreshed after a night of travel. Complete Eurail price lists and schedules are available at www.railpass.com . Eurail passes can be customized to your specific travel plans. If you’d rather skip ground travel all together, airlines such as Easy Jet ( www.easyjet.com ) and Ryanair ( www.ryanair.com ) offer cheap daily flights all over Europe. If your travel dates are flexible, discount flights can save you time and money. Ultimately, when deciding how to get around Europe, you must consider not only your budget but also how much time you have to spend on traveling and how much you value comfort. Having sampled all three options on separate one-month trips through Europe, I would suggest you seriously consider taking a train or airplane over a bus network. You’ll find you have more access to Europe and more time and energy in which to explore it. STEVE SANOSKI studied abroad in England last year. He now lives in Duluth, MN, where he is a journalism student at the University of Minnesota. Contact him at sano0009@d.umn.edu .

Travel to St. Petersburg, Russia's Elegant Former Capital City According to U.N. statistics, St. Petersburg, Russia is the eighth most visited tourist site in the world, with several million people visiting the city every year. Why do visitors flock to this former capital of Russia? St. Petersburg is a traveler’s delight, famous for its summertime White Nights, its marvelously designed old city section, beautiful buildings on the banks of the Neva River, and its many churches, museums, gardens, theaters and activities. The city's turbulent history also draws visitors. Key Points about St. Petersburg Tsar Peter the Great established St. Petersburg in 1703, with the founding of the Peter and Paul Fortress on May 27th of that year. While some may have wondered why the tsar chose to put his namesake city in a swamp prone to flooding, Peter delighted in the city's strategic position on the Gulf of Finland as an entry to Europe. By 1712, the city became the capital of Russia. Over the years, the city changed names to Petrograd and Leningrad but now has regained its original name. Young by European terms, the city is architecturally stunning, with many cathedrals, museums, monuments and more than 500 bridges over the river Neva. Nevsky Prospect is where most tourists go, as it is the main thoroughfare through the city’s historic center. St. Petersburg has two high seasons: May through July and the spectacular winter season between the New Year’s holiday through January. St. Petersburg is famous for its White Nights of summer when daylight never really goes away, particularly between June 11 and July 2. St. Petersburg has a deserved reputation for world-class attractions. The city is home to the State Hermitage Museum, the Mariinsky Opera and Ballet Theater, St. Isaac’s Cathedral, and the palace of Peter the Great. The city hosts annual art exhibits and music and film festivals, including the Viva Russian Cinema festival. Entry Russia requires that most foreign visitors obtain a visa. You cannot get a visa at the border so make sure you get one in plenty of time from a Russian embassy or consulate or an authorized travel agency. You will also need an official invitation, best obtained from an authorized travel agency. Major Attractions Nevsky Prospect has been St. Petersburg’s heart since the days of Peter the Great. It’s 4.5 km of shops, hotels, performance venues, and lively activity. Many of the attractive buildings have been recently renovated. The State Heritage Museum contains large collections of art from prehistoric to modern times. One building belonging to the museum is the Winter Palace, former home of the tsars. The State Russian Museum is the world’s largest museum of Russian art. The Peter and Paul Fortress was St. Petersburg’s first structure and today houses a number of museums and the Peter and Paul Cathedral where all Russian tsars since Peter, except Nicholas II, are buried. Peter’s Cabin is the city’s first residence. A wooden structure built for Peter the Great’s use, it contains artifacts from his time. St. Isaac’s Cathedral is the world’s third largest domed cathedrals. Featuring mosaics, red granite columns, loads of precious stones, and a gold-covered cupola, the cathedral is major landmark. Climb up the colonnade for a view of the city. For more about St. Peterburg’s attractions, see the Russian Tourist Office website. See page 2 for information about shopping, dining, and lodging.
