So I've been on the road for business forever it seems and my hobbying has all been away games the past few months.
Perusing the current availability of in calls for a couple of hours with someone here at home for a change has led me to notice that it seems I can't get  as much bang for the buck as Ive been used to all these years.
I have always always secured a two hour tryst and stayed within a 6 or 7 c note budget.
Is it global warming? And what am I gonna do on my day off this Friday?

Book 2 ladies at 350 an hour, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Agreed..... Used to call people but due to rising prices can no longer justify  it...
Maybe it's time to start thinking  about a new hobby

I'll never leave the hobby. LOL It's my escape from the madness at work. Two separate rendezvous sounds good in theory but I've always booked 2 hours with the belief with only one hour, the necessary getting to know you/feel more comfortable  15 or so minutes of chit chat just doesn't cut it for me as I enjoy prolonged exposure to my soirée

Agee with others about expenses going up which obviously affects prices. I wonder if there are 2 other factors. First that the LE risks have gone up and risk = higher price. Also (perhaps related) is lower availability  of local providers including local independents. That means relying more on visiting providers who also have higher costs.  

Where are you looking?

and IMHO, Jill's retirement has also had an influence on rising prices. There was always a safe place to play with great gals at  
a great price. I'd imagine many providers were glad to see that competition go away.  

We are In the range you seek..

I used to work for RSG (years ago) and it was a great setup for traveling girls who lived in weak hobbying spots. The price was not much lower than it was where I and my girlfriends lived and the volume more than made up for it. Plus, she ran things very well (in my experience), making sure the clients behaved (I'm sure some found her endearingly hard-assed ), so it wasn't hard money. Travel logistics were the only real stresses and that wasn't on the agency. I moved to a more active city quickly and didn't need to travel anymore, but those little money bursts were helpful for those of us in escort Siberia.  
Sad to find out RSG is gone, but I hope the staff is doing very well

if I ever went for a Ride, Winona ... met a lot of wonderful ladies at RSG where I enjoyed a nice, tight squeeze now and then. LOL

Haha northroboston I'm intrigued now as well! Things that make you go hmmmm XO Bonnie of RSG

In the past year the prices have gone up significantly.  Many visiting girls are now charging 500 + per hr.  Way out of my budget and comfort zone.  There also seems to be a shortage of decent girls at under 400 per hr price point.  I definitely have cut back on my hobbying.

Given that a number of ladies visit the area and ask for $600 for an hour and some say 2 hour minimum, BAD is an off the charts value. I am increasingly stunned at the rate increases and the demands for multiple hours at what would historically be a very very high rate

Seems to be supply & demand.  Obviously the folks at higher rates are filling up their dance cards, so why shouldn't they be at higher rates?  I still greatly miss one local ATF who was $250/hr for the longest time but refused to raise her rates because she just didn't want to be greedy, and she would be outstanding at 2x the price.

If I were a provider, of course I'd charge as much as I can, as much as "the market will bear." That makes sense. But, me too to the op... My hobbying is less. Definitely. I think part of it may be the nature of visits, as well. The charge is mainly for time.

Heading in the same direction as the airlines?  Hopefully not Spirit 😂
