i needed a place close to prestwick ariport for an early morning flight. i had booked this place the prior day. the owner said to call if i would be in later than two pm. i arrived at one o'clock and no one was home, and no notes on the door.

i went to a gas station 50 yards away. i was told the owner's sister had a bed and breakfast across the street from arran view. i went over there. the owner called her sister who passed along this information: the hadn't heard from me in the morning so she rented the room to someone else.

she hadn't found other accommodation for me. the sister had no vacancies. i was off to play golf but the sister said she would find accommodation for me that night. after the golf she referred me to claryson house.
