Travel For Charitable Deduction

Hi,

 

I have a storage unit in Puerto Rico. I had anticipated returning to the island at some point but I no longer think that is viable. Unsure what to do with the items, I thought that it might make sense to give them to charity.

 

Would travel costs to the island be deductible as travel associated with a charitable gift?  Would a hotel stay/car rental so that I can unload the unit be?  I'd rather give the items away to charity than have them be auctioned, but if that stuff isn't deductible its a pretty big expense.

 

Thanks!
