Priceline Hotel: 1* Jacksonville (South) Extended StayAmerica Butler Blvd

This is getting really old! The girl at the desk greets me by name every Monday evening and wishes me a good weekend on Thursday night.

If the other guests only knew how much they are overpaying! Mums the word of course.

I thought the era of $twenty-something hotel stays in the US were history. You proved me wrong. I don't think I have paid under $30 a night for a hotel room since I paid $29 in Marble Falls, TX during one of the worst tornado systems I ever saw in February of 1989.

Now, if I could ever find some reason to go to Jacksonville...hehehe

In a little while, you could go watch the Jaguars. The mascot Jaxon de Ville (sp.?) is a riot!! Then, you could go check out the World Golf Hall of Fame/ Village in St. Augustine (an hour, prob. less, away depending on traffic). The Renaissance there is fairly new and has been going for ca. $60 on PL. If you're not into golf, you could always check out the Bill Murray-owned restaurant, IMAX theater, and the 2 big outlet malls or the Spanish Castillo de San Marcos/ old town. The Anastasia Island State Park in St. Aug. has a fantastic beach and new bathhouse/ snack bar. Good grief... I sound like I'm working for the tourist bureau!!! :)

Jacksonville, has a very wide range of food choices. Getting my Kalbi fix is not a problem, the Sam Won Garden Restaurant on University Blvd is the place. I have a Navy buddy who lives in Jacksonville. I took him to the place and he even commented on how every thing tasted like he remembered.
