The farthest I have been away from home is when I lived in Germany for many years due to my father being in the Air Force. We got to travel while over there to see the sites. Now being back in the states I still travel to different states to see the places I am interested in. Makes you wonder some times if you do not have a decent job with insurance, what happens to you while you go on vacation? We see kids here more often than I care to see become ill enough to need to be admitted to the hospital and some without insurance. If you travel from state to state and have private insurance your pretty much safe. If you have Medicaid not so much because those are on a state per state basis. If you have no insurance you are screwed. Makes you think maybe I need some travel insurance especially if you happen to be going overseas. I mean, I would love to go visit Dubai, Australia, and South America but would Blue Cross really pay if I become ill?
Buying travel health insurance can be a smart move. Not only will it pay for medical bills but it can also cover cancellation costs, lost luggage, travel delay (we could all claim this), loss of income, personal liability, out of pocket expenses, hijacking, etc. Those are just a few of what you could get. It is very affordable which I did not realize either, because I always get asked if I’m booking trips if I would like any insurance, that travel insurance is very reasonable. I just did an estimate of some travel insurance for myself for a week in June and it came out to only $59. The only questions were where I am originating from, the dates of the trip, and my age. Dependent children or grandchildren under the age of 21 can be added to the policy for free. Now that is unheard of in this day and age and even sweetens the deal if you plan on a family vacation which I would never do. I want to have fun on my vacations.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NMEDA for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
May is National Mobility Awareness Month sponsored by NMEDA (The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association). Now you are probably asking what it is they do. This is a association partnered with many companies to bring mobility to an otherwise disabled person(s). I can only assume if you do not work in the medical field or having a friend or family member that you know that has a mobility disability you might not even think twice about this.
My boss is actually in a motorized wheelchair and has been for many years. He has been working this entire time because he has the mobility to get to places he otherwise would not be able to without his wheelchair. Granted there are certain hindrances with making sure any place he would like to visit is handicap accessible but that is very minor considering it is a requirement by law to be handicap accessible. He lives on an island 3 streets from the beach and will ride down to the pier on weekends for the sites and fresh air.
Over 18 million people in the U.S. and Canada have mobility issues with 6 Million of them being veterans as well as being the 2nd largest minority in the United States. NMEDA is in partnership with BraunAbility, Bruno Independent Living Aids, VMI/Vantage Mobility International, Toyota, Chrysler (this is the vehicle brand my boss had converted to carry around his wheelchair), and SanTan Honda Superstore in Chandler, AZ. So know that people with disabilities can live an active and mobile lifestyle. If you know of someone who is in need of perhaps a new wheelchair accessible vehicle or perhaps obtain their first one, NMEDA will be giving away three custom wheelchair accessible vehicles in May. While on the NMEDA website you can connect with others in through online communities such as their Facebook page and blog.
So every now and then I provide sponsored posts for money on here via SocialSpark. Well, now they are offering a whole MegaMac Challenge for their publishers, ie me, which includes a Macbook Air, 27-in Quad-Core Mac, Apple TV, iPod Nano, and Airport Express. The person who can provide the most referrals wins the entire package. It is a win-win situation for both of us. If you own a blog you can submit your blog to be approved and start earning money blogging about interesting products & services too. Sometimes they even offer samples before you blog about a product so you can try it. I remember one year there was a sample of turkey flavored beer *gag*. Came with a cool turkey hat though. You can pick and choose which offers you are given to do.
Heck, if I win I’d even do a giveaway for the iPod Nano as I use my phone for my music and do not like carrying more than I need to to the gym when I exercise. If you want to earn money blogging please consider signing up under my referral link.
