Re: Problems with Philly 3-day eval.

Maybe add another day at the hotel there. If not that, there are medical

transport services (generally expensive) but also you might find some

local drivers either on care.com or craigslist or other local sites. I

know I do have someone who would drive me under such circumstances even

though it would be expensive. She owns a company locally called An Extra

Pair of Hands, but there are many personal assistant type companies and

at least having one that you have a relationship with is very valuable.
