Wife and I are coming off of a long-term sailing trip after having a kid. 

My understanding is that it is regional travel, shopping trips, maybe some family events. 

If you pre-plan it right and make 50% of it business related, you can write the trip off as a business trip. 

Hi Brad,My partner and I are making a trip to Belize mid December.

We have taken two scouting trips and have connected with a great Realtor who has been very helpful.

When you go deep sea fishing for the big fish, you hire a guide so you don't ruin your trip.

Im actually just finishing up on an ADU down the road at a different property so that may be a good indication if I can finish it quick enough to see resultsI also was thinking of making the barn a combination of both and make it like a bar themed loft for a guys / bachelor trip and build the simulator in with the living room as it can double as a projector type screen for netflix ect. 

My question is, is everything on this trip a write off?

Most of my experience with ads is from another business and I'm sure many of the principles apply, but I'm super curious about any communities that may be out there sharing tips and trips.

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.
