Travel Comes with the Unexpected: Stuck in Kearney, Nebraska

A Show in the Mountains: Beaver Creek, Colorado

Spending a weekend in Beaver Creek makes me feel like a fancy person, which I am not, but I play one at this Colorado ski resort. By the way, Beaver Creek Resort is in Avon, Colorado, one exit past Vail ... [ Read More ]

HeidiTown Year in Review: Where are the Flying Cars?

How is it nearly 2024? Shouldn’t we have flying cars by now? As a kid who grew up on The Jetsons and Back to the Future, the lack of flying vehicles is disappointing. We do have cars that drive themselves (sort ... [ Read More ]
