Check No. 2098--San Diego. The American Express July
invoice includes a $450 charge for an American Airlines ticket
for Betsy to fly round-trip from Washington, D.C., to San Diego,
California. The purpose of this trip was personal, and not for
Sley Corporations’ business. The charge was made on Betsy’s
American Express credit card on July 7, 1985, and was paid for by
Markette check No. 2098.
Check Nos. 2098 and 2108--Canada. On July 15, 1985, five
USAir tickets were bought for petitioner and Betsy to fly from
Washington, D.C., to Buffalo, New York, and the children to fly
from Washington, D.C., to Buffalo, and from Buffalo to Natchez,
Mississippi, in August 1985. In August 1985, petitioner, Betsy,
and the children rented an automobile in Buffalo, and incurred
expenses at hotels in Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa. The trip in
Canada lasted about 10 days. The purpose of this trip was
personal--to take a 10-day family vacation trip to Canada, and
not for Sley Corporations business. The record does not provide
a basis for findings as to why (or even whether) the children
went to Natchez. The airline tickets, which total $710.36, were
charged on Betsy’s Markette American Express credit card, and
were paid for by Markette check No. 2098. The automobile rental
and hotel expenses, which total $2,900.01, were charged on
petitioner’s Markette American Express credit card, and were paid
for by Markette check No. 2108.
