- Well, maybe you could. And maybe the client could be paying someone local
- to be doing real work. %*} Personally, I use travel time to catch up on
- reading. But then, I seldom travel to stay only one or two days.

- Often it will be more reasonable to simply quote a flat rate for a one-day
- (or two-day or whatever) stand. You know how much it will cost and how long
- it will take (both to a reasonable approximation) so figure out how much you
- need to be reimbursed for the travel time and present it as a package.
