While I always like to consider myself to be some sort of great traveler, the fact is that I make more mistakes than I care to admit. We all do of course, and that’s actually one of the great joys in the travel experience, to make and learn from mistakes. One of those happened when I drove Route 66, which I still consider to be one of the best trips I’ve ever planned. One of my errors though was not planning enough time in the many cities and towns along the way, instead wanting to experience the quirky sights in between. As such, I only spent the night when I visited Oklahoma City, an oversight I instantly regretted. I recently had the great opportunity to correct this travel mistake, when the fine folks over at VisitOKC invited me back to explore everything I had missed that first time.
In this week’s podcast I invited two guests who share everything there is to see, do and eat in Oklahoma from the fine arts to one of the best burgers you’ll ever have. We also talk in greater detail about the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum and why it’s such an important place to visit.
