Hi,
I applied to a university in the States for a library travel grant and recently received it. It's $1000 for any length of time, and I plan on being there for 3-4 days. However, there is an archive about two hours away that I'd like to visit as well for another 3 days. It would make the most sense to do it on this trip given that I would have already taken the flight to that state.
I would probably have to disclose that because they require submission of original receipts. If I'm there for 4 days and my flights/rental vehicle show that my total trip is 8 days, they will ask where the other 4 days went. I'm thinking of asking them whether I can submit only the receipts for the flight as well as 4 days of hotel/rental vehicle/meals, while doing the secondary archival trip on my own dime. Is this a common request, or would it look weird?
