I think that I could do either of the above. I am not for hire to be a
pilot. Regardless if I use a plane or not, I am still going.

You can get reimbursed for your expenses as long as the flight is
incidental to your work and you're not carrying passengers or property for hire.

This sounds like it is the case for you.
