In Reply To: In all the projects I worked for @ BE we used perdiems. And I wasn't in PS. It's easier for everybody. You just have to learn how to maximize the use of the perdiem. For example, when you book a hotel check if they have free breakfast. Right there you're saving a couple of bucks. If the also have a free manager's reception (um, happy hour) that's also cool. What I used to do is go light on lunch and dinner the first days. By Wednesday I sat down to nice steak and seafood dinners with wine. Just budget yourself and you shold be fine.
Message: for the info. I'm just asking because I'm starting a long term travel project for the first time this monday. no one has told me what the norm is.
