The only claim he has on you is the time he is paying you for..

Only then would that be kosher. of course you can always do as you wish.

I just want to make sure this is kosher and it doesn't make my client mad.  
   
 Scenario:  A guy asked me to drive 4 hours each way to another city for an overnight date.  I've seen him before so I agreed.  He asked me to host (pay for the hotel), and I am paying my own transportation (gas).  He is just paying the overnight donation.  
   
 Since id be in a different city, I was thinking of coming a day early and staying a day later, and making it into a short tour.  
   
 FYI: The client will easily see that I posted a tour ad around his date because it's on the screening website where he found me.  
   

BTW, that alias is pretty transparent. Unless you aren't who I think you are.
 So, is this cool or not cool?

Of course it is cool he is not supplying a deposit for your time.

Your spending 8 hours total in the car traveling, providing your own funds for gas & a hotel.  WTF I would never without receiving a deposit. Strange to me how he would not want to at least pay for the room that is what any true gent would do.

to come the day you're seeing him and stay a couple of days after. He might get offended if you're working his city before he sees you.

He's getting what he paid for, there's no deception involved.  

It's kind of like a free toy in the cereal box, like I think of getting to see a way out of town lady when I go to a convention or training trip.

Heck, most of my clients would have insisted on me doing that - even if they're paying for my travel. Obviously most wouldn't pay for the extra nights in the hotel.

You're being savvy if you do, and we all know he's hiring someone who does this for a living.  

Don't ask him, by the way. I'm sure he'd be cool, but really it's not his business. It's yours.

what she is doing during the day on Tuesday, Wednesday, or any other time.  What matters is how she treats me during the time I'm with her.

Can we know where you would be visiting? Of course pm me, if you are trying to obviously stay utr as you are using an alias for this post. I have to say you are going above and beyond, to drive that far. Kudos to you for your customer service. Yes its your business and his time is that and nothing more. What you do before or after is to help you. I couldn't imagine, you would make such a trip, without trying to schedule more appointments. Yes if you are stating in town for a few days, or what not, the hotel is on you. However the time with your regular, at a minimum he should be paying for the room for that evening. Also in my opinion, if he is asking for you to travel, especially that far, there should be compensation of some type, besides the donation.

It's not like he sent the G5 to pick you up...

had his chauffeur pick you up in the Rolls -  then put you up in his pool house on Long Island for the weekend with his black Amex for pocket money -  while he does a meeting in the City and now you want to do some extra business.....  

Your money - your rules..
