Unless you specifically are in high demand (e.g., you're JoAnn Hackos),
I suspect there are only a few situations in which someone will pay
extra to get you to travel to them: (1) It's a government contract, and
there's plenty of money, courtesy of the taxpayers; (2) It's in East
Podunk, Alaska, from Nov. through April, and there's not a soul
qualified to do the work within a thousand miles. 

  

   Hey Richard,
   Be careful what you say.  I lived in Alaska for 18 years and it was
   one of the most technologically connected places I've been and you
   cannot believe how many people with BAs on up live up there, and how
   many of them live in the bush.  The University of Alaska Fairbanks had
   two Cray IIIs and an NCR super computer.  There are probably more
   souls to do high tech work up there then there were in New Mexico when
   I lived there.
   Just thought you'd like to know
