Hotel shuttles can be very handy, I agree, but in this instance the shuttle
trip is to get me to/from the departure airport, so I probably won't be
able to get a courtesy shuttle to come pick me up.

Ah yes, that's rather a reference to Robert Redford's character in Sneakers

   huh??? ... well, I'm definitely not up-to-date on the latest movies

   ... Congratulations.

   Tips - (1) save the airport shuttle fee;
  any reputable hotel in the States has free shuttle service for
their patrons to the airports.

 (2) if you are a Bishop - as your e-address shows -
  then save on the hotel fee by combining this trip with your
religious vocation;
  contact the local church/cathedral where you could promote G-d's
will as well as receive lodging.

Hi,

I've submitted and had a LibreOffice talk accepted for SCALE (Southern
California Linux Expo), and I'd like to request travel funds for the
conference (Jan 21-24). SCALE is one of the largest FOSS conferences
in the US, with over 3200 attendees, 100 exhibitors, and 100 speakers
in 2015,

Flight: approx. $400 round trip
Hotel: conference rate of $120/night
Airport Shuttle: approx. $90 round trip

Thanks,
--R
