The dragon or the drop? - update
I learned this morning that indeed, The Workplace will allow me to attend Drupalcon Paris without burning vacation time if I'm paying for the conference. I really and truly expected the decision to be taken out of my hands. It now becomes a fiscal decision: cost of travel and accommodation versus benefit of attendance and networking.
Much to think about while I do data cleanup. If you're wondering what in the world this is about, see http://domesticat.net/2009/04/dragon-or-drop

You can write that sucker
You can write that sucker off on your taxes too as a business expense - flight, hotel, registration fee, maybe food (I typically never bother with food, so I'm not sure what the rules are).
Keep your receipts for anything else business related - books on programming, etc. You have to break a certain ceiling before the writeoffs start to count.

We may have extra bed space in an apartment we are renting, that is, if you don't mind sharing a queen bed with a stranger, just to help keep costs down.
