Been running across this a lot lately - will peruse what's available in other cities - saw some somkin babes and checked their reviews. The reviews were great so I'm now infatuated about seeing this provider in another city.
So do I take the time and expense to travel there (mind you I have a somewhat flexible schedule)and see her once or twice or do I have her come to my city (at some pretty hefty fees). I'm thinking going there may save me some $ but will take a lot more effort and time. Having a provider travel to you probably means airfare, hotel, plus at least $1,000.
Advice please!

Someone recently advised me that bringing her across state lines may involve Federal laws and complicate issues, if any do come up. Just a thought...
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert in this area however.

there seems to be a lack of tact in presenting your material.
Such lack of "tact" is usually reserved for the LA board.

but I find it hard to believe even the Ashcroft Crusade would take time out to investigate and prosecute on this one.
I am aware that it is called the Mann Act because of what I have previously read however since Singer is not an attorney I would not expect him to know every law related to the hobby. In fact many attorneys probably don't know them all. It is more than sufficient that he is aware of a potential problem. I find your tone to be way out of line especially since it is a law that has been rarely invoked in the last 20 years.
But to swear eloquently, would be to lower myself to the white collar gutter that this individual feels is his domain. Yet another fine example of why this individual is on my DNS list.
and you get more bang for you buck if you travel to see her. Most ladies worth their salt are not going to get on a plane for less than 2K. It is really easy for it to add up. If you are traveling, you have much greater control on the expenses.
There are too many less-enspensive ways to hobby to have to import a provider. Don't get caught up to the point where you are having to go delve into your reality to sustain a fantasy. That's all it is and where it should stay. Find a local who'll do just as good a job as the one in another state.
...the dolla dolla bill so I would save the $ and go their to see her once or twice (twice - if you can afford it).
GOOD LUCK!
Are you married? If so I suggest you travel to her.
Of course, one would have to look at the numbers and decide for yourself. Here is a thought...see if she is coming to your neck of the woods (within driving distance) at some point. I have traveled upwards of a 4 hour drive on several ocassions to see a lady. Worth all of the time I spent.
Each persons set of circumstances is different. Even our own change somewhat from day to day and week to week.
There have been times when it was actually cheaper for me to spend more because it left me free to do accomplish other things, and there have been times when that didn't hold true.
Take a few minutes to sit down and crunch the numbers both ways along with what can be done with the time it will take for each senario. It won't be to hard to figure out.
I've gone on several appts where I was flown in to the client. I love this and the guy loves it as well when he is able to show me his town and we get to do a lot of fun stuff together and then retire to the bedroom. It is a great bonding experience and as long as the provider has a good attitude and is willing to negotiate on extended stays, (or the guy doesnt mind the hefty price tag)it can be a good thing. I've charged between 1.6 to 2.5k for a day or weekend and it has worked out very well. With a deposit, I will purchase my own ticket and have extra for airport expenses and go on and go. I like to speak several times with the gentleman on the phone and find out more about his personality and how secure he is in giving out information.
For me, the trip is like a mini vacation and all sightseeing and dinners are on the client in addition to my fee, which is considerably lower than others.
I don't worry that Im missing out on appointments back home because I am pretty low-volume and the money I take home is enough for me; the memories of the overall experience often outweigh the monetary gain, but maybe I've just been lucky. I've been able to see great places along the way! Maybe you should go ahead and try it out!
