How about this scenario?
San Diego Comic-Con. Paid for airline tickets. Paid for badges for Thursday-Sunday. Hotel room at a Holiday Inn in Chula Vista. Paid for train passes from the stop near the hotel to the convention center which in turn would have paid for San Diego transportation system. Paid for meals and other things.
Sadly, this never happened because she.. just.. stopped talking to me and finances that disappeared because of family.
Never said I wouldn't pay her for her time. Never said we had to spend 24/7 together. Would have given her the badge and let her do what she wanted. She had access to Comic-Con and ability to travel whereever she wanted around San Diego. Was never going to force her to hang out with me. I know how nerdy I am
'Nuff said.. it's clobbering time!

Dude, my last email to you was in Oct - when, my last sentence said "Be patient, I am interested." ... To be honest, if you were serious, you wouldn't have waited this long and then throw a tantrum about it. I expected you to be a gentlemen and send a reminder note after a short time. Like, I dunno, when I wrote you to say my RL wouldn't calm down til at least XXXX. Not start a BS campaign on boards what... 6+ months later? Seriously? ....
Now, that the sidetrack is finished -
I also am one of those ladies that - as long as expenses during the trip are covered, and we have a very good understanding ahead of time what is expected on BOTH sides, my fees are extremely reasonable. Like... stupidly so. A few meetings ahead of a long trip is always a good idea. I rarely go on extended trips lately with people I haven't seen a handful of times. I want to enjoy myself more than I care about the money.
Alyssa... bish... give me the scoop on Australia! Right now, all I know of it - they make bottle openers out of kangaroo balls and have really awesome towels. (inside jokes)
Amadeus - where did you stay? I spent a week+ out on Ambergris and Caulker just the past month. Fuck I love the diving.
@ HoneyDavis - Darling babe... I am fucking SPOILED by DFW airport. Gotta love me some nonstop flights.
But Hell.. the lure of GBR won't even get my ass on a plane to Aus for a week. Tell me you are staying a month and hmmm... let's talk. Plus, ain't "this" legal down there?
