Romance Travel Expert & European Travel Enthusiast
Greetings! My name is Janet Caraker and I enjoy fun, food and immersing myself in a new way of life in countries around the world. There is nothing better than exploring new areas to absorb the local cuisine and culture. Our world is an amazing place with so many beautiful places for you to discover.
I started in the travel industry in 1987 fueled by my own travel experiences and a desire to share them with others. My main specialty is all-inclusive travel to Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean as well as independent travel to Europe. I have personally spent time in Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands this year. I specialize in Destination Weddings in Mexico, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, and European Countries.
My passion is working with clients who want to EXPLORE the world on escorted or independent tours, river or ocean cruising, safaris, rail adventures or complete custom vacation itineraries around the world.
Over the years I have served on many boards of travel and professional entities such as American Airlines, Travelocity, Jurni Network, and Women's Business Network. I have also participated in local activities such as Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, and Women's Business Owners Group. I am honored to be a founding member of Preferred Travel Alliance, a prestigious mastermind group made up of top travel leaders. Currently, I am working with other industry leaders to create Curated Destination Weddings & Celebrations which will launch in 2022.
I am dedicated to YOU and your travel experience. Please contact me and/or fill out a Travel Quote Request at http://www.IslandJacks.com to get started. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Daughters first big trip!
Janet has been amazing to work with! We scheduled our trip(s) during hurricane season and she was able to help us get one cancelled and the next one rolling! We had a bit of an upset with our room on day 1 and Janet took it into her hands at 8 pm to take care of it for us!! Definitely will use her again and again!!

I am SO glad you and your family had a great time. As soon as I saw that villa, I just knew it was perfect. And when I found out it was available that was the icing on the cake. Thank you for letting me enjoy the experience vicariously through your family's Facebook posts!
