I would love an overnight stay. Even better, I would love to take a provider on a short trip for a couple of days to Vegas or the Caribbean (hint, hint) as long as my donation was the cost of the trip itself.

Yes, she should enjoy herself and, hopefully, have a wonderful time, but she is still working. While she is on the trip, she is missing potential revenue and may also incur additional expense (babysitter, as an example). Bottom line is, there should be some compensation to the lady for these factors.
The biggest factor, in my humble opinion, in determining your enjoyment of this type of excursion, be it overnight or trip, is compatibility. The lady you select should be someone you truly enjoy spending time with, and not just BCD. Unless you're planning on spending the entire time naked and in bed, it would behoove you to be with someone that you genuinely like and can actually converse with. Ideally, it would be someone you already know and have established some sort of relationship with. You will enjoy your outing much more if this is the case.
Anyway, just my two cents. With that, and a couple of bucks, you can still get a cup of coffee in some places.
