[philmont] Travel Question for Council HA Chairs

I believe you can get a one time or short-time use credit card for
problems like this. It's specific for this purpose - short expiration
date, very limited transactions, that sort of thing. It may need to be
pre-paid to get the kind of value you'll need - most such cards have
fairly low limits. That means the Council will need to get on the stick
to pre-cut a cashier's check for whatever is needed.
