One of my favorite layovers late in my first year of flying was Omaha, Nebraska. Who would have thought? The town is sooo cute. Just across the river and down the street from our hotel is Old Town, with cobble stone streets and brick buildings. Even though it was November, the weather was beautiful and the sun was shining, so I enjoyed the chilly walk. I went to Upstream Brewery for chili and a local beer before walking north of Old Town in search of some cool, old buildings I'd seen on the map. I ended up walking probably 10 miles that day... seeing an old school, a museum, and a beautiful Christmas tree in the train station before the sun started setting and I headed back to the hotel. I hear that we don't layover there anymore, so I'm sure the experience wouldn't be the same if I picked up a trip there now, but I'm glad I went when I did.
