Last year, Travel Guard, a company that offers a variety of travel insurance including policies for adventure travelers, ran a contact seeking the "World's Unluckiest Traveler".� Now, there's a new contest: The Rescue." Share your favorite stories of everyday heroes away from home. The hero you nominate will be in the running for a $10,000 Hero's Vacation - and you could win too!
Here's one of the tales submitted: "Captain to the Rescue," Jeanne and her family were traveling in Nigeria and experienced a distressing travel emergency. While riding his motorcycle, Ruth's husband broke his collarbone in an accident and needed emergency medical care outside of the country. The family boarded a flight to Germany, only to learn the hospital they planned to visit would not accept them due to their residency. With the help of a caring flight attendant and the captain of the plane, the entire family was moved to first class. Once on the ground, the captain himself helped find a suitable hospital and arranged accommodations for the family during the husband's recovery."
If you have a great tale, here's where you can find out more about entering the contest.
