Can I deduct hotel & meal expenses at a second hotel for an out of state job if I moved to another hotel after job was done to be closer to the airport?
The job was a little more than a hour away with rush hour traffic to contend with. The job was on a Friday but the flight rates were cheaper if we flew a few days later. While at this hotel and waiting for our return trip we were able to visit some family & friends in the area. Will those visits negate the deductibility of the second hotel & meal costs?

Deductions & credits
You can deduct all of your travel expenses if your trip was entirely business related. If your trip was primarily for business and, while at your business destination, you extended your stay for a vacation, made a personal side trip, or had other personal activities, you can deduct only your business-related travel expenses. These expenses include the travel costs of getting to and from your business destination and any business-related expenses at your business destination.
