another company in a different city where petitioner wife might
also find administrative work. However, petitioners never set up
any appointments or arranged any interviews in these destination
cities. Petitioners also were unclear about what job positions
or vocations they were seeking.
From January 4 to 8, 1998, petitioners traveled from San
Francisco, California, to Miami, Florida, in search of employment
for both of them. Petitioner was seeking employment with his
current employer or another airline company in Miami, while
petitioner wife conducted a “cold canvas search” with various
employers in Miami, Palm Springs, Plantation, Port Everglades,

allegedly $2,937. Of this amount petitioners calculated $509 for
hotel expenses; $356 for meal expenses; $210 for car rental
expenses; $70 for gas expenses; $1,772 for air fare expenses; and
