As I write this bittersweet post, I do so with a heady dose of thrilling anticipation of my exciting new career path ahead of me; whilst desperately trying to swallow this growing lump in my throat.

After 4 fantastic years of a “Million Thrills”; it is with a heavy heart that I wave a fond farewell to my Sun International family.

Whilst it’s true that I have been terribly spoilt and privileged, to have called the fabulous grand old dame, The Table Bay Hotel my home for so many years and all the great breakfasts/lunches/dinners/coffees & cocktails shared with clients and colleagues alike

that  I will undoubtedly miss. I will dearly miss the people within these four walls infinitely more.

I have been incredibly blessed to work with such an amazingly talented team of people.     Each one unique to their role in our Sunsational Family!

I want to thank each and every one of my colleagues; clients and peers for being a part of my journey.

For generously imparting their knowledge; graciously sharing their wisdom & expertise with me; for their support & commitment on my “Sell Hard” reality TV show series this and many many more I extend my heartfelt gratitude.

The invaluable skills & experience gained and the unforgettable memories I will keep forever close to my heart.

 

Up until my very last day I was spoilt by my colleagues with this beautiful red cake (with glitterry red curlies on top made especially for me by my fave chef Bobby of Table Bay in honour of my own red curls) 

roses, food, card and the most stunning crystal candle sticks! Really I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

I’m so touched by the outpouring of love and fond messages from my clients, and the beautiful nibbles and wine hamper received from one.

Reminds me why I so love the tourism and travel industry….I love people and these are my people…love you all so much!

 

Sad as is it to leave this chapter behind, I am very much looking forward to my new role as Twitter Travel Sales Account Executive.

Though I may be trading my hospitality hat for a digital marketing one, i’m still very much going to be around in travel.

Catch you all in cyberspace…on Twitter @thejax_1 and linkedin  ….for now i’m going to have my cake & eat it too!

Cheers!
