It seemed to be a thriving place that was reasonably near some other places (in the universe you know, unlike, say, most of Wyoming) and full of people that for the most part seemed to like living there.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_616\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hijenx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015-06-22-13.30.47.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-616\" class=\"wp-image-616 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hijenx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015-06-22-13.30.47-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"2015-06-22 13.30.47\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hijenx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015-06-22-13.30.47-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hijenx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015-06-22-13.30.47-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-616\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Downtown Omaha<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_615\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hijenx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015-06-22-12.41.34.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-615\" class=\"wp-image-615 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hijenx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015-06-22-12.41.34-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"2015-06-22 12.41.34\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hijenx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015-06-22-12.41.34-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hijenx.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/2015-06-22-12.41.34-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-615\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heartland of America Park<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One big downside to Omaha is the lack of international airport though. This is not an absolute deal breaker, but it would be useful and preferable not to need a connection flight to get to Chris&#8217;s parents.
