September Office Updates
This month the office is buzzing with activity in preparation for sending off groups embarking on European adventures.
Not only are we focused on travel this month but we are full steam ahead getting ready for the Friendship Four 2024 Tournament in November! Meanwhile, we’re bidding a temporary farewell to Alex, who has departed for Cork to begin her study abroad journey. While we’ll certainly miss her presence around the office, we’re thrilled to see her explore the beauty and culture of Ireland. Be on the lookout on our social media to see what she’s up to in the emerald isle!
Further we are especially excited to announce the opening of our new office in Ireland! Located in the heart of Galway, our new base will be worked in by Andrea, who is already diving into preparations for numerous European adventures. We can’t wait for this next addition to CGT!

A Look Into One Of Our Tours
Ireland with Fr. Tommy
Last month in August we were delighted to send out many groups, one of which was a coastal Ireland adventure with Fr. Tommy Conway! We enjoyed a panoramic tour of Dublin, the Book of Kells, and the artistry of an Irish blacksmith at Newgrange. Highlights included a visit to Glen Keen Farm with its sheepdogs and traditional music, a tasting at Achill Island Distillery, and a charming stop in Cong Village with the Quiet Man Museum. Our adventure ended with a memorable lunch at Father Tommy’s family home and a private medieval banquet at a picturesque castle.
