Hi,

Perhaps I could add a little more detail.

'To head ... somewhere' has the ides of 'go in that direction'.

'To drop by ... a place' is to visit it casually, eg without a prior arrangement.

Hi, I was heading over to the hospital, and I was passing your house, so I decided to drop by for a few minutes.

Best wishes, Clive

I'm heading to a town 500 kms away from here.

I'm heading over to school.
