What to offer for a two-day trip

[Austin Lewis]

There may be too many variables here for this to be a sensible question, but here goes. I'm preparing to move from City A to City B, and I'd like to bring my favorite guy up to City B for a two-day visit. Let's say his hourly rate is X and his overnight rate is 6X. (Rates are comparable in both cities.) I asked him what he would want for a two-day visit, and he just said I've always treated him well and he trusted me. I was thinking 15X plus travel and a couple of really nice dinners plus plenty of time for him to see the sights (City B has a lot of interesting stuff to see, and he's never been there before). I realize he can just say no or ask for more if he feels I'm lowballing him, but I'd rather make a good offer to begin with.

Here's the best I can find, searching 🔎 this forum for "weekend" in the subject title: 

Even though the prices are 7 years old, the gentleman provide a rule of thumb that 2 nights should be about 1.5 times the overnight rate, and a full weekend should be about 2 times the overnight rate.  Plus, the host pays for his companion's travel, meals, and shared entertainment. 

The other topics with "weekend" in the subject title never mentioned rates, but provided good insight on how to make a a weekend hire go smoothly.  A key takeaway is providing a few hours each day of personal time, where the escort is free to go out on his own, use the gym, make phone calls, and just be "off the clock" away from the host.  Otherwise, the temptation to turn on the phone during time together is too great, and both parties end up uncomfortable.

Thanks, guys. As a relative newbie, I continue to be amazed at how helpful everyone is and how much collective wisdom there is to be found here.
