1999 Honda Accord Won't Start?

Question

Hi, I have a 99 Honda Accord, 85k miles, some gas in the tank and it won't start. I drove it last night fine, parked it, I'm pretty sure I didn't leave anything on because today the locks, lights and CD player work but the car won't start. When I turn the key, it clicks once, not the repeated sound that you usually hear when the battery is dead, but one click and then nothing.
I've got a road trip tomorrow, AAA can't come tonight except to tow and I'm looking for something that I might have missed.
I've already tried jumping it and I knocked the battery corrosion off the red knob. Any suggestions would help, thanks.

I don't know a ton about cars, so I don't know what a hummer on the starter is, although I appreciate the input. I'd also appreciate as much lay-man as you can dish out.
