Not many travel agents can accommodate an octogenarian that still sails, skis and plays tennis, but Jo Shayler fulfilled the brief to perfection.
I live in London and my 88-year-old dad lives in Melbourne, Australia. He has played tennis and skied for 60 years and frequently joined my beloved late husband and I on skiing trips to Italy.
My dad learned to sail a Hobie Cat a few years ago and he remains determined to master the art.
The brief I gave Jo was to find an island paradise where my dad and I could sail, he could play tennis and I could sunbathe, read, swim and generally unwind from my busy job.
To say Jo met all deliverables would be an understatement. She booked the spectacular Tokoriki Island resort in Fiji.
My dad and I sailed with the expert Lelani. I snorkelled in pristine seas amidst vibrant blue coral and sunbathed on the deserted white sand beach.
We luxuriated in five-star villas and cuisine and will definitely go back!
In an oversubscribed industry, this travel agent’s success speaks volumes.
