the expressway near Hoofddorp

If any of my Amsterdam friends are reading this, sorry, I’m only here for a 6-hour nap before getting on another plane at the crack of dawn. That’s why I didn’t call anyone. I’m on the expressway in Hoofddorp, pretty far from the center of A’dam.

I was just email chatting with Tim Morton, who said he was in one of these “interstitial nowheresville” hotels himself not long ago, near Denver. The one I’m in is surprisingly nice, but the location is so horrible that you’d never stay here unless KLM put you up here after missing a connecting flight. KLM probably owns the hotel, I would guess. And they do a nice job of making it reasonably comfortable. But you wouldn’t ever book a room here for any other reason than a KLM schedule glitch.
