You are welcome to book flights for us or reimburse us for flights that we choose (we are particularly adept at finding affordable flights). We will fly on most any airline, but please consult with us regarding this as there are certain airlines we would prefer not to fly.

We do not require a hotel room, but wherever we are hosted, we each ask the following:
