I have been a provider for around 8 years now and have something new coming up in the next week or so and I really don't know what my donation should be!  I will explain what it is and any guidelines would be very much appreciated.

Client wants me to fly to Florida with him early Monday morning returning late the following Monday night.  He will have one day of business there and the remainder of the time we will spend at his condo on the beach.  He is paying for all expenses for the trip.  The trip will include beach activities, dinner, night clubbing just to name a few.

So how much do I charge for the week?

I'd say something in the $4-5,000 range would be fair, but the real question is:

What do you think is fair to you to make it worth your while?  That's what you should charge.

if you have not seen him before, I'd put the rate on the high side.  We have told guys not to try overnights unless they have seen the provider at least a couple of time for short dates.  I'd offer you the same advice  If you haven't seen him before, you don't know if you will be OK with spending a week with him.  And if he accepts, get the donation up front.

Thank you I was thinking closer to $5,000 but just wanted to make sure I wasn't over pricing or under pricing myself.  I appreciate your advice.

Thank you that is good advice.

He is picking up all expenses but what would you normally make during the week in question.  A vaca & nice time is all well & good BUT you are clearing your calandar for a big block of time.  This is a sure thing, but you should turn a profit above what you would normally make.    

You didn't ask about this but you should negeciate up front about personal time that you might want on a daily basis.  This might be used to stay in touch with family & friends at home for instance...  a safety call...  someone should know where you are.  He will likely need personal time as well.  
He will likely need your real name for airline tickets...  Are you comfortable with that?    
Another point of discussion is how much actual sleep time you require...    

It could be a great time if everything comes together.  Having like expectations is best

Vacations are tough, because there are some people, though great, certain things cause me to need time off afterwards. Like beard stubble on the nipples get me every time. Manhandling tits, clit biting, (I hate teeth) sore skin, etc etc need to heal.

Also managing your schedule before and after in case of flight delays, (I've had a two day delay in another state and had to pay a pretty penny to have a roof over my head, as well as taxis and meals during that delay.) And I missed out on a 1k appointment because of that delay too.

That doesn't happen often with travel, but every time something comes up. And I guarantee you, 9 out of 10 will say "your problem"!

So factor in emergency money, money for any clothes, etc you'll need for the trip and get a deposit, but also think about the fact that it's a nice chunk of money for a great time and its a nice cushion.

...he knows up front, how much sleep I need, how much time I need to scan e-mails in the morning, and how much time I need with out him hovering.  I once had a gentleman sit on the tub, and watch me put my make up on, and do my hair!  Creepy, to say the least.

  As for airline tickets, new friends must forward me airfare, along with his deposit.  I disagree with the gentleman who posted to collect one's gift upfront.  I ask for a fifty percent non refundable deposit.  I would never ask for my full gift, before meeting.

  I think having honest communication is why I am successful meeting new friends, for over night, and travel dates.  

Hugs and Kisses,

Given the large amount of money involved in overnight trips, how do you practically make the donation? You certainly wouldn't want to take that amount on a trip and deliver at the airport or the destination. To keep the provider's privacy, you can't issue a check, and a big hunk of cash can be conspicuous. Any suggestions?

.....most gentlemen forward the deposit via credit card, or AMEX Gift card.
