Young Lady: Cardia

You enter Alternate London and make your way to the train station.  After the long train ride to Wales, you enter a dense forest and search for a mansion, hidden far away from any other building or house.  As the night progresses, the mansion finally comes into view and you make your way to the front door.



When you call out to your client, there is no response.  Then, you try the doorknob and find it turn in your grasp.  You open the door and enter the mansion.  The building seems to be in bad shape, as there are spider webs and dust strewn all over the place.  The mansion is shrouded in darkness, save for the moonlight peeking in through the window panes and through the holes in the ceiling.



As you make your way down the hall, the moonlight shines the brightest on a particular door in the deepest part of the mansion.  This is the room you must enter.



After knocking on the door and hearing no response, you slowly push open the creaking door and find yourself in a room filled with toys.  There are many stuffed animals and dolls spread out all over, surrounding a chair in the center of the room.  On the chair sits a young lady, sleeping peacefully with her head tucked into her knees.



You make your way to the center of the room and clear your throat.  This finally gets a reaction out from her, and she lifts her face to glance at you with her large blue-green eyes.  She blinks sleepily and quietly says: 



"Are you my agent?  The person I've been waiting for?  I'm sorry I fell asleep and couldn't welcome you properly.  I've been waiting for your help to leave this place, and head for Alternate London.  Can you help me plan my journey there?  Oh, and I forgot to mention my name.  I'm called Cardia.  I'm pleased to make your acquaintance."

After listening to Cardia's story, you find out the following information:

Cardia plans to set off on a journey to Alternate London.  She has been saving money, little by little, to support her travel expenses and living expenses.  Cardia has saved $2,947 total.  She will spend $32 each day for her travel and living expenses.  How many days will Cardia's savings last?
