I serve on the Oklahoma Route 66 Centennial Commission and thus receive regular articles regarding tourism in Oklahoma.
The latest email I received from Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell’s office was titled “Where to travel 2022: The best destinations to visit.”
The article came from CNN travel. It lists places from Naples, Italy to Valencia, Spain. The locations are listed alphabetically and include many wonderful places to visit all around the world.
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Yellowstone National Park were the only two places on this list in the United States. The author told people they should come to Tulsa to the see the new Bob Dylan Museum that will open on May 10. It will be close to the Woodie Guthrie Museum which I have visited and is nicely done. I am including the link for the article in case you’d like to read it. Just nice to know Oklahoma made the cut. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/where-to-travel-best-destinations-2022/index.html

We, the Smalley family, would like to thank each of you for your prayers for Gary. I wish you didn’t, but I know many of you know the devastation COVID can wreak on a person’s body and the agony that family members feel as they watch their loved ones struggle with this insidious virus. Our prayers are working. Gary is showing signs of improvement but still has a long way to go to be out of the woods. Please continue to pray with us for Gary’s complete healing.
