[LTER-im] Travel costs estimates for the request due today

[Gastil Gastil-Buhl]

Hello fellow LTER Site IMs,

I am sure none of you procrastinated as long as I have to submit this form
due today if you will be applying to EDI to partially cover your travel to
the July ESIP meeting, concurrent with the annual IMC meeting. Luckily for
us who are only just doing this today, Suzanne has shared her cost
estimates. Thank you Suzanne!

And wonderful news: Jason Downing is willing to coordinate IMC meeting
planning! He may help coordinating roommates or airport rides, for those
who want to save cost.

EDI is not the only source of travel funds. There is your own site, and the
possibility of NCO matching funds.

EXAMPLE for travel from H.J. Andrews to Bloomington, Indiana

Transportation:

                Plane $800

                Baggage fees $50

                Shuttle to/from PDX $87

                Shuttle to/from IND = $40

Lodging: $104 * 5 = $520 or with roommate = $260

Per Diem: current rate for Indiana = $57/day = $342

Registration fee: $415

Total:  $1994-2253


For those who missed yesterday's vtc, we gave ourselves the due date of
April 5th to exchange abstract drafts for our sessions. That is the same
day EDI will send out decisions on funding from the forms submitted by
today.
