Because this trip ends on October 3rd you can still take later appointments the following day. The other option is to extend your trip 2 days and still have an extra day to relax. The price would vary depending on flights and hotels but my guess would be another $1000 - $1300 for airfare & hotel.
Let me know what you think.
This is an approximate breakdown of expenses to give you a rough idea. This list includes a stop in Iceland and Paris.
