Who is Island Jack?
My name is Janet Caraker. I guess you could say that I am Island Jack! I started my career as a travel agent in 1987 at Elite Travel in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. In the beginning I was a business travel counselor. I loved helping my clients make the most of every business trip and vacation while not breaking the bank. Travel is my passion ... and I want to share it with you. My life long love of travel and people plus my acquired computer skills have made this the perfect profession for me. As time went on I realized that my services could be put to better use helping leisure travelers find affordable and value added vacations. I really enjoy getting a great deal for my clients! There is nothing better than showing people that they CAN afford a great vacation on a budget.
Over the years, my reputation has grown. I went back to school and earned my CTC (Certified Travel Counselor) designation. I have been honored to be chosen to serve on the boards of several large travel companies such as American Airlines, Travelocity and Sabre Holdings. Locally I have participated in Rotary Club, Greenville NC Chamber of Commerce, and the Business & Professional Womens Network.
In 2007, my personal life changed dramatically and I moved back to my roots south of St. Louis, MO. Due to the anticipated move I considered selling Island Jack's Travel but ultimately chose to close down the storefront and run Island Jack's Travel from my home. This was quite an undertaking that has turned out better than I ever dreamed. All of my loyal clients cheered me on and have been such a wonderful support for me. I appreciate each and every one of you! You have continued to be in contact and have referred so many other wonderful people. Your support and friendship mean everything to me. Thank you for choosing Island Jack's Travel!
