$290 for two adult ($65 ea.) and four children’s ($40 ea.) one-
way Eastern Airline tickets between Washington, D.C., and New
York City, for travel on June 8, 1985. The tickets, which do not
indicate the direction of the flight, were charged on Betsy’s
American Express credit card. These transportation expenses were
incurred in connection with the same trip on which petitioner and

Airlines tickets for Betsy and the children to fly round-trip
from Washington, D.C., to Corpus Christi, Texas. The charges

1985. This trip was for personal purposes, for Betsy to visit
with her mother and brother, and for the children to visit with
their grandmother and uncle. Petitioner did not go on this trip.
The record does not enable us to determine how long Betsy and the
children stayed in Corpus Christi. These charges were paid for
by Markette check No. 2098.
