I'd like to welcome to the show Caitlin from twin family travels.com and Caitlin has come to talk to us about Oklahoma.

Caitlin, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for having me.

And what is your connection with Oklahoma?

I basically lived in Oklahoma my entire life. I grew up here I went to college here so my whole life has basically been spent in Oklahoma in

Northeast Oklahoma mainly but I've also lived in Western Oklahoma as well for a period of time.

And I think you have told me that we're going to focus on Western Oklahoma as well for a period of time.

And I think you have told me that we're going to focus a lot on Tulsa and Northeast Oklahoma,

so that is consistent.

That's the area that you know best.

Yes, it is.

Excellent. Why should someone go to Oklahoma? People should

visit Oklahoma because it has a unique history and it has a lot of natural

beauty. I think it's surprising and unexpected to a lot of people. It has a complicated history in many ways. We'll get into that, but it has seen a lot of revitalization and improvement over the years.

There's really been an increase of top-notch museums,

outdoor spaces, and there's really just something

for everybody to enjoy here.

Excellent. What kind of itinerary are you going to recommend for us? something for

us.
