Low and slow in a cardinal 177. I would be just flying, there would be another person on board doing whatever they do.
Thanks
Charge what you think you are worth. If you think you are worth 60 a day plus the hotel and food then charge 60. I'd say 150 or more a day is not unreasonable. If you think in hours you will be working each day (8, 9, 10 etc.) and multiply what you make (or half of what you make or 2 times what you make or whatever) an hour at your current job that would give you an idea.
Bottom line, don't sell yourself short...charge what you think you are worth!
