Travel News for the Week of November 10

Hi Everyone,

We all know that the emergency number in the United States is 911 but that is not the emergency number in most places outside the US. If you have an emergency out of the country, you want to get help asap.  Here are a number emergency numbers for some of Europe: Italy: 112,  Jamaica: 110 or 119, Ireland 112.119, Spain 112, Switzerland 114.  Look up your emergency number for wherever you are traveling at: travel.state.gov.

There are many other things you can do to help yourself if you have a medical emergency. Put your emergency info on your phone. Both iPhones and Android phones have apps that will allow you to display essential health information right on the  Lock Screen.

If you are planning a cruise, please book it early as the cruise lines have really seen a remarkable increase in demand.  They have actually exceeded 2019 levels.  Some of the more popular sailings  are already full for next year and we are booking into 2026.  Although that is not the case for every cruise, it is for the more popular or seasonal destinations.
