[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are a 1 car family but really try to make it work for everyone. I was worried that we would be seen as a less than desirable HF because we don't have a car to hand over for exclusive AP use, but now that our AP is here with us and made some friends, it turns out that our AP has the most consistent car access of any of her friends! I'm really surprised by that, but to me that just says that obviously there's selection bias in who searches out and posts on this board. Those of us here are interested in being good hosts - so what I'm reading here as the norm is a higher bar than what's being offered out there in the cluster.

As it relates to this thread, I understand that the vast majority of hosts pay the stipend as dictated by the State Dept. The fact that several here report rounding up + large bonuses is nice, but I wouldn't take that as the norm. [/quote]

Thank you so much for posting this!  My AP is about to leave for her travel month and I started feeling guilty that I am not giving her $1000 to travel with.  It seems kind of crazy to me given all of the travel she's already gotten to do with us, extra time off she's gotten, etc.  Now I feel better....[/quote]
