Hi all,

My wife and I are seriously considering signing up for a live-aboard trip to the Galapagos in Oct with some friends. Only problem is that we are in the process of trying to expand the gene pool. Everything is going great, since both activities are fun :shades:

My problem is that the cancellation policy for the liveaboard can be fairly costly if one or both of us is unable to go. Is there any type of insurance that will compensate us if we have to cancel? Would this qualify (to anyone besides myself) as an "act of god", or would it be an unjustifiable reason for cancellation? I would rather have the kid than the trip, but if we can't do the pregnancy thing by then, it's a trip of a lifetime.

Thanks in advance for any info.

I would just check into some travel insurance, read the fine print and you should find out real quick.
