As a reminder to all, http://www.tei-c.org/Board/procedures.xml#body.1_div.8 outlines what can be claimed per diem for the meeting last week, that is, for the meeting and associated travel, not for extra days. The public day meeting counts, because that was a TEI outreach event. The US DoS per diem rate for Prague is $136, per https://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem_action.asp?MenuHide=1&PostCode=10839 That seems high to me, as Prague seemed cheaper than Vienna, but maybe the State Department stays in nicer hotels. I dunno. So we are eligible to claim 70% of that, which is $95.20. Incidentals: Morning: $4.76 (5%) Afternoon: $6.66 (7%) Evening: $7.62 (8%) Meals: Breakfast: $19.04 (20%) Lunch: $26.65 (28%) Dinner: $30.46 (32%) You should obviously not request reimbursement for meals paid for by someone else, so when Syd picked up the check, he will just submit that for reimbursement. I know some of you were (as I was) caught up in various weather-related delays and cancellations. Expenses incurred as the result of these count as travel expenses, as far as I'm concerned, and are reimbursable. I had to take the train from NYC to Durham, and I'm submitting that ticket (coach class; I did upgrade myself to business class, and I'm not asking for the upgrade cost back). All the best, Hugh
