1) Shouldnt have to pay, but might need proof of funds for admission like any visitor would... Generally if an entry fee applies to you (like there is for an I94W to visit the US) its built into the airfare cost.

2) Shouldnt be that cold yet, will be OK with a sweater and jacket. Not really shorts/sandals weather anymore.

3) Depends on your tastes: Fast food is $5 - 10, Sit down casual restaurant, $15-30. Posh dining, $100+

Gas depends on the size of the tank and how empty it is. Today gas is $1.25/liter, tomorrow it could be $1.10, or $1.40...its like a yo yo.. A full tank could be $50 to $100+ depending if its a Civic or an Escalade you have in mind.

Beers will vary, depending on the class of the joint and if you want domestic ($3) or Imported ($5)

All numbers are very round.

Oi!

He didn't say he was visiting us here in the Republic of Cascadia.

Oh, the joy of being able to call myself a Cascadian. The excitement is almost unbearable.

And if he was coming to cascadia I'd have suggested fur-lined organic hemp sandals and a kaftan. Smoke yer shoes, bro !
