Omaha it is!

Omaha, NE and Buffalo, NY have been the two most recommended places for me to visit next month, and out of the two, I chose Omaha.

Why, you ask?

First of all, it's closer. It should only take me about seven hours to get there, as opposed to nine or nine and a half to get to Buffalo; seven hours of solo driving time should be plenty for me. Secondly, I know next to nothing about Omaha, which makes it that much more exciting for me to visit.

From what I've heard, Omaha has some neat little shops and venues and museums. Anyone ever been there? I'd love some recommendations of places to visit and things to do. I did order a visitor's kit today, but that will take about 2-3 weeks to arrive.

TIP: You can order FREE visitors' guides from the tourism websites of most major cities.

To add to my excitement, I should be getting a new car in the next week or two. I've decided to purchase a Toyota Prius hybrid. It should be perfect for all the road trips I will have coming up in the next couple of years. It's maiden voyage should be this trip to Omaha. Sweetness!
