<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">We each must start with a full budget to know how much the whole shebang is going to cost. I missed it on the web page that ESIP provided lunch. That’s good,
subtract $57. Plane tickets are highly variable, they could be $1000 from Portland or I might be able to snag one for $600. It’s also important to note that Bloomington, IN is an hour, plus, shuttle ride from Indiana International Airport. I found this
company that shuttles every 2 hours throughout the day (http://goexpresstravel.com/airport_shuttle_schedule) for $20 each way. There are other options, but seemed more expensive. If you arrive after 10 pm or need to leave before 8 am, then you will need
to find another option.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">ESIP registration covers breakfast, lunch, snacks and one dinner so the per diems are high. Plus EDI is looking for cost share, so not sure they'd entertain full fare at that level. Fair warning.<o:p></o:p></p>

only just doing this today, Suzanne has shared her cost estimates. Thank you Suzanne!<o:p></o:p></p>
