Wow, can you believe it? This month The Joy of Travel is celebrating 20 amazing years as Oklahoma’s premier home-grown travel agency! It seems like only yesterday I was stacking brochures on our dining room table, unknowingly moving into what were going to become the best years of my life.

During these two decades, we’ve watched the world of travel evolve, but one thing remains the same: our commitment to providing you with personalized experiences that truly reflect your travel dreams. Our team has explored, tasted, and enjoyed destinations around the world, ensuring you get the very best advice and recommendations for your adventures. #ExperienceMatters

We are so excited to mark this special milestone with all of you who have been part of our journey. It’s not just about the years; it’s about all the incredible trips we’ve helped you take and the memories we’ve made together!

Over the years travel has changed in so many fun ways. From cookie-cutter charter trips to the rise of truly unique experiences, we’ve embraced it all with open arms. Our first group offerings were often less than 20 people and have evolved to private motorcoaches for 40+ passengers and even private river cruise ship charters filled to capacity.

My fantastic agents are always keeping up with the latest travel trends so we can offer you the most wonderful adventures, whether you’re dreaming of a peaceful beach getaway, planning a honeymoon or anniversary, or finally taking that trip of a lifetime to Europe, Africa, Australia, and beyond. We’ve got you covered.

Our heartfelt commitment to you, our travel family, makes us shine. We believe in going the extra mile to give you a personalized experience. Every trip is tailor-made just for you, and we love getting to know you so we can create the perfect getaway that suits your style. Many of our clients have become lifelong friends, returning to us year after year to share in their travel dreams.

As we celebrate these 20 years, we reflect on the countless joyful moments we’ve witnessed. From family reunions overflowing with love and laughter to great bonding experiences with us on our personally escorted tours, each story warms our hearts and inspires us to keep doing what we do best.

Our devoted team is ready to help turn your next travel dream into a beautiful reality. Let’s gear up for new adventures together as we dive into the years to come and look forward to our 40th anniversary in 2045.

Here’s to 20 years of unforgettable journeys and many more amazing experiences with The Joy of Travel!

My special thanks to Lori Curtis, Shawnda McAlester, Joslyn White, and Leigh Ann Lane. They are truly the best in the industry, and I am so proud to call them my team, my best friends, and recognize them as super-star travel agents. With more industry awards than I can list, these ladies are not hobby agents. They are true professionals with years of experience and millions of dollars in travel bookings, ready to jump through hoops to make your travel dreams come true.

Our heartfelt thank you to each of you. Your trust and loyalty through the years have kept the doors open through economic collapse, global pandemics, and so much more. We are NOTHING without you. Your referrals, your continued bookings, your social media likes and shares have carried us through. You are amazing, and we never cease to be truly grateful for you and your business.

With deepest appreciation,
Joy
