Simon does itsy-bitsy spider on his own!



Most of Sunday was spent at the Jacksonville Airport. Our plane had an engine not start. It's an old ATR prop plane. American Airlines issued the food and hotel vouchers.

We were assigned to Clarion Hotel. Our room was not clean. Hairs were present on furniture, cigarette burn marks were in the soap dish. The room had a faint smell of sewage. Anne was angry about the whole situation, and we were disgusted by the hotel. The hotel clerk just gave us a neighboring room. We did not think that would improve our experience there, so we went back to the airport to the AA counter to ask them to attend to the matter. They did not budge. When we called AA, we were told that these complaints should be directed to the website Nevermind that no one gives any weight to web or email comments. We were in position to have the matter addressed as it developed, and American Airlines washed their hands of it. The picture above is from the counter.

We ended up paying money to spend the night at the Holiday Inn, the same one from the previously night.
