You get the idea. When Eva protested, the friend reminded her that she had not negotiated up front for travel expenses. He deducted her fee from the receipted expenses; she ended up owing him $20.00 or so.
Point to this story: Your costs will nearly double while traveling with the lady. Receipt everything and deduct her expenses from the companionship
Well Played!!!

One point I failed to mention is that the lady in question made it clear after they had arrived in Mexico City that she was not monger's GF, that this was a business situation and she expected to be paid. At that time the monger made it clear that they would keep track of money spent so that neither would get ripped off. Apparently the statement escaped Eva at the time, even though my friend speaks excellent Spanish. He did keep all receipts and even held onto a copy of her sedula during their trip, in case she stole from him and ran. Yes, I agree Tim... Well played.
