The card comes out, and the question about travel insurance arrives with it. It reads like an upsell at the worst moment. In Ontario it's something else.

Some of what goes wrong on the first day can be sorted at the desk. Some of it was decided the day you booked. Telling the two apart is what decides whether asking is worth your morning.

The instinct is to ask for everything, because none of it seems expensive to request. Deciding what the week is about, and what it isn't, is what turns a wish list into a trip that fits.

Most organizers settle on the resort first and never weigh who's coming, though the mix decides far more of the week and can't be changed once the list is set.
