No Margaret, you are certainly not being unreasonable.  You should be paid
for the time you are unavailable to work elsewhere.  You should also receive
a per diem to cover expenses.  Have you considered offering to perform this
task for a flat fee (not an hourly rate)as a separate contract having
nothing to do with your regular part-time duties?  If you were not willing
to travel would they have to contract out?  Good luck!
