As a woman, Carrie has always felt very safe there. You can rest assured that we won't go if it is not safe. The areas we will visit are in Jewish-Christian Israel, not the Palestinian West Bank where the disturbances have been. This is very important.

None are necessary.
It is up to you. Check your home owner's policy to see if you are already covered. Or, perhaps you may purchase a rider on your policy, or check with your travel agent. Insurance typically covers trip cancellation, baggage and person effects, limited medical, accidental death and dismemberment, medical evacuation, etc. You may also purchase Trip Insurance through the travel agency with which we work.
