Travel Pass the Hat

[persis]

I need to fly to Denver, CO, visit a day or so with my Dad and step-mum, then drive our little white car East. My primary issue right now is funding, time is secondary, as this is necessary, but I will still miss a bunch of work time. No work = no pay as I am paid by the hour.

I am currently thinking of flying mid-week, November 19 or 20, as they are the cheapest flight days (my current favorite airline is Southwest) at $135 one-way, plus I would need gas money and possible hotel if I cannot find people to stay with.

Driving home is at minimum, a three day drive. Talis drove out with overnights at a truck stop in eastern Ohio, and a friends house in Kansas City, MO, before arriving at Jamestown, CO. I am hoping to make it without staying overnight in the car.

My question to you, dear DW and LJ friends, is, would people be willing to donate to my travel cause? If so, my paypal e-mail is persis at thorndike dot name. If not, I will tighten my belts. Please let me know if this is something you would consider?

Edited last night to include my paypal e-dress... *sigh* I hate being in this position.

I don't have much extra but I can send you some.

Cash is a bit tight here, but if you can make it to eastern Iowa, we've got crash space. Plus you would get to meet the boys (now almost 8 and recently turned 6!)

I think you have our contact details - if you don't, email via LJ (spiritdance) or DW (this account) should work.
