Love isn't always easy, and love in the time of COVID-19 can be especially challenging.
It's almost Valentine's Day, and many of the go-to night-out options for couples catching a show, watching a movie, savoring a lavish meal could be potentially problematic during these pandemic days.
If another night of Netflix and chill holds no appeal, have no fear, fellow Okies. Oklahoma has miles of romantic getaways, scenic views and memorable attractions for couples eager to hit the highways.
Even if these recommendations don't work for your Valentine's Day that promising bed and breakfast is already booked up or the weather is too chilly for outdoor escapades keep them in mind for future romantic escapes.
Since travel has been restricted, I ve missed my frequent visits to the States, and it s made me nostalgic for a road trip I took with my father through Oklahoma a few years ago. It s a place that echoes through my new novel Journey to the Heartland, which I wrote during lockdown.
One of the southern states, Oklahoma is bordered by Texas to the south and west, and Kansas to the north, and is part of the Great Plains, which has shaped its history.
We checked into the Ambassador, a 1920s boutique Marriott hotel near all the action, and set off to explore. Oklahomans are some of the friendliest people in the United States and it s almost impossible to meet a stranger here. Everyone we spoke with had a little Irish and Native American in their genes and was keen to share some local knowledge with us.

A Chickasaw family’s project to share day-to-day rural life is inspiring people across the globe to strengthen family ties. The project has also blossomed into a full-time career.
Launched in 2011, by Chickasaw citizen Daniel Arms, the Arms Family Homestead YouTube channel recently marked a milestone with 400,000 subscribers. The social media channel follows Daniel and his wife DeJay, their children Weston, 18, EmmaLee, 12, Houston, 8, and friends and family, through adventures in fishing, hunting, gardening, and other aspects of a rural, self-sustaining life.
Passing the legacy of self-sufficient living to his children is a top priority of Mr. Arms, and served as the inspiration to start the channel.
