Von Bears is pleased to announce Linda Logsdon, CTA, ACC CONGRATULATIONS to our new CTA! To learn more about this achievement conferred by The Travel Institute in Wellesley, Massachussetts, call for press release.  A Pre-CTA workshop will be offered by Von Bears later in 2012.  If you are interested in becoming a Travel Associate of Von Bears, please call for details and availability.          While none of my clients were onboard most of you heard that the Costa Concordia ran aground on rocks off Islo di Giglio near the coast of Northwestern Italy. Getting home without documentation, financial tools and cell phones was another battle.  Such incidents are the reason I always recommend leaving a copy of your documentation with a family member at home who can fax it if needed.        Those who grabbed their travel packets as they left ship have obvious advantage, especially if they purchased travel insurance and their agent included their policy # and 24/7 international 800 # in their documents packet.  Sadly, such unforeseen emergencies are one reason for purchasing travel insurance.  You hope you’ll never need it but if you do virtually nothing less than travel insurance meets this unique need.
