Non-stop service from Hartford, CT to Amsterdam.. WTF!

travel deals on: http://matadortravel.com/fresh

First of all, this is utterly ridiculous. And awesome at the same time. This is of discernible interest to me because I went to college in Hartford, CT and when I was living there, the Hartford Airport offered service to approximately 2.5 airports: Baltimore, Cincinnati and sometimes Newark. Talk about a vacation to die for. (eg: an above average likelihood of being shot).

Lets be serious for a second- Do you remember your college schedule? I do. The last three years of college I only took classes Tuesday thru Thursday with exquisitely drunk 4-day weekends in between. If this deal was around back in my heyday, I would have gone to Amsterdam on a tri-weekly basis*.

*This is entirely untrue, seeing as though I was a broke mo' fo' in college like most other students. BUT, lets suspend our disbelief for arguments sake, and imagine there are rich kids who attend small private liberal arts schools in New England and could afford such extravagance.. (A crazy thought, I know.)

That would have been such a cool-ass weekend trip to take during college. And I don't even like smoking pot, windmills or hookers. Just to take a long weekend to Holland from some derelict American city with no redeemable qualities like Hartford, CT is reason enough to hop on a 6 hour flight for me! That, and being locked in a room with unlimited beer at the Heineken Brewery for 1 hour after the brewery tour. Pure wonderment.
