With two major celebrations occurring within three days, the weekend of February 13-16 is the perfect time for clients to enjoy a winter getaway. Valentine's Day is on Saturday, February 14 this year and Presidents Day is on Monday, February 16, which makes the long weekend perfect for visiting a romantic hideaway, a presidential landmark, or both.

As February is also a time of potentially disruptive weather, Travel Insured International reminds agents that romance and history are best enjoyed when clients insure their 2009 Valentine’s and Presidents Day trip plans. Because winter weather conditions, an icy fall or serious illness can spoil vacation plans, it's important to protect your clients’ prepaid travel dollars.

A Worldwide Trip Protector travel insurance plan from Travel Insured will safeguard your clients' getaway and free their minds to enjoy a romantic, safe and possibly historic holiday vacation. Below are some ideas for enjoying the Valentine's and Presidents Day weekend.
