Not sure about travel yet. My wife and I had planned to take a trip to Houston, TX to see the space museum and visit some of my wife's family in TX. The trip for this year has been postpone due to the CCP virus.

my plumber charges me 125/hr. my lawyer 300/hr.
a few years ago, my last employer contacted me to do a little local work for them. i quoted them 125/hr. they swallowed hard, said yes, and i got paid what I wanted. they haven't called since.
do a google search on Scott Adams (Dilbert guy), he had a good essay long ago on not being afraid to ask for what you want. short version, he was asked to give a speech somewhere. he talked it over with his agent, agent said ask for what you want. so Adams quoted 10K plus travel expenses. they said yes fast. lesson learned: don't be afraid to ask for what you want. worst case, they say no, and you have tomorrow to yourself. win either way.
