Those who live in colder climes face the prospect of a long cold winter. Those who choose to spend some part of that season in a location with warm sunny days are referred to as Snowbirds.
When snowbirds travel from home, they face risks which they don't have to deal with in their normal Canadian home environment.
While away, whether through an accident or an illness striking, snowbirds can suffer inconvenience, pain, disappointment. Thankfully, with good excess health insurance they can avoid the financial expenses which can be charged by the health services in other places - and these bills can be staggering.
