Standard travel insurance NOT covering the oil spill in the Gulf!

We've covered the topic of travel insurance a few times here at Vacation Barefoot, travel insurance and a volcano, and I feel that if you can afford it, get it.  This way you can relax if the unthinking should happen.  Sickness, natural disaters or otherwise.  But what about the oil problems in the Gulf?  

NOT COVERED!

The problem is is that travel insurance only covers "natural disasters" and BP's big problem was a man made problem.  So when booking your travel insurance we recommend that consumers consider buy "cancel for any reason" travel insurance as an alternative to more restrictive standard policies.

 Visitors to Florida, Texas, Louisiana or Alabama who are thinking of canceling their trips might want to double check that insurance plan to see if they're even covered.
