"Destined Drive"
(Printed in Departures – The American Express Magazine)

     Thinking about a trip to Ireland? Don’t delay! My wife and I recently returned from a fabulous ten day vacation during which we explored the entire West coast and ended up in marvelous Dublin. 

     Much of wonderment of our trip was directly attributable to our delightful, unobtrusive, and always punctual driver, Liam O’Leary, whose services we obtained through Pat Keogh Chauffeur Service.

     For six full days we were the grateful recipients not only of Liam’s extraordinary wit but also his encyclopedic knowledge of every nook and cranny of the countryside, as well as the history, culture and traditions of his country. 

     For those of you who would prefer not to deal with their notorious single lane roads, driving on the "left side", and trying to read maps while approaching new territory…..
don’t hesitate to call Pat Keogh and ask for Liam.

     The Henderson family has been home for more than a week now and are still talking about our great visit to Ireland…especially Bansha Castle…and the beautiful way we were all treated by everyone we met. Every person is Ireland is an Ambassador and Good will agent!

     Tops among them were each one of your drivers who responded to our needs and took the very best care of each of our members, but special kudos go to David who not only helped us a number of times, but our friends and relatives, too… most especially the necessary medical assistance he obtained for Dick.

     When we return, we will be sure to call again.

     Meanwhile, a wonderful year to all of you and much success which you really deserve.

     I just wanted to let you know that the McCarthy family had a positively wonderful trip and thought, that all the services you provided were just great.

     They truly enjoyed their driver/guide and couldn’t believe how many times he went above and beyond what had been requested.

     Many thanks – I hope I can send you lots more business in the near future since I know that your company does it RIGHT!

     We wanted to write and thank you for running the courtesy car operation so smoothly and with great efficiency during the recent Ladies European Tour in Adare. 

     It is always a huge challenge to run a successful schedule and you were always pro-active in finding a solution, for that we are extremely grateful.

     Please pass on our appreciation to all your drivers that were always so willing to help at any time.

     Thank you for your skilled driving during our Site Inspection, but as importantly, for your pleasant companionship and useful knowledge of Ireland.

     I was privileged to host a major customer on a tour of Ireland and our newest manufacturing facility.

     Our surface transportation was arranged with your firm. The service was on time, comfortable, and, very professional.

     All of our party were especially impressed with your driver, Willie. He was not only a careful driver but also was an interesting guide. He provided us with an outstanding commentary on your beautiful country and its many historic sites. He proved to be an excellent planner. 

     We met a schedule without feeling we were on a schedule. We had choices which allowed some adaptation of the itinerary to the individual interests of the group. There were times when our party had different interests within the group. 

     Your driver always was able to balance the resulting transportation needs in a way which allowed choice without inconvenience to anyone. I quickly realised that Willie was thinking ahead and allowing for contingencies. 

     Although, this was very much a "business" trip for me, I found I didn’t need to be concerned about logistic details. Your driver added his special blend of humor and commentary and the travels became entertainment.

With many thanks.
