I did order the "terminal charts" but when they came I realized they
do not include approaches. With the trip a week away, I'm just
wondering if its worth the $35 or so to rush out some approach plates
or if the odds are pretty good I won't need them.

It's unfortunate that your initial order didn't include the correct charts.
However, what is the total cost of this trip going to be? In the end, will
you really notice that you spent an additional $35?

I'm guessing the answer is "no", which to me means we're back to just
deciding whether you want to be prepared to fly IFR or not. Or if you
really want to look at the cost, it seems to me that $35 is a very
reasonable price to pay for being prepared. If it was $350 instead, then I
could understand the dilemma, but at $35 I don't (and I'm guessing only half
or so of that is related to the "rush" element...how much extra would it
have been had you had them included with the terminal charts?)
