Travel Troubleshooter: Insurance didn’t cover my cruise: Question: I am hoping you can help me get a refund for a cruise that my husband and I booked last June with Princess Cruises. Jim, my husband, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the spring. At the time we booked the cruise, his doctors at the hospital were very optimistic about his prognosis. He visited the hospital on a monthly basis for checkups. He had finished his chemo treatment at that time and was being monitored. He was given five years or more to live, and we were ecstatic.
London going all-out for queen's Diamond Jubilee: Will and Kate who? Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating 60 years on the throne this year, and London is set to throw her a Diamond Jubilee party in June that will eclipse even last year’s royal nuptials.

Inclement, alluring road trip: MOUNT WASHINGTON, N.H. — I wanted to walk to the top of the tallest mountain in the Northeast. It would have been four miles and a head-pounding elevation gain of more than 4,000 feet, but that didn’t scare me. Neither did the common claim that Mount Washington’s peak is home to “the world’s worst weather.”
