IRS has since cracked down on that. you now have to have the receipt of value from the charity to support your charity deduction.

Re: My old car: Trade it or donate it?

I'd trade it in, simply because what ever you get for it is subtracted off the purchase price of the new car and that's what you pay sales tax on. so you're saving a few bucks in the process.

Re: BVI bareboat trip

rent some scooters on Anegada and explore the island. great way to get to the beaches and snorkeling on the other side of the island. If you want to snorkel check the tides and avoid low tide. On Jost Van Dyke be sure to hit Ivan's Stress Free Bar (just down the beach from the Soggy Dollar) and look...

Re: BN BVI Sailing Vacation Anyone?

we've used Moorings every time we've gone. I'd recommend them. They've seemed to have survived the economic downturn better than many. Their boats aren't as new as they used to be, but nobody's are.

Re: want to limit the carry-ons for airplanes??

airlines want you to carry on since it cuts their costs. you're the baggage handler so they don't need as many employees to do it. since it takes longer to board the flight they simply increase the published flight times to avoid the appearance of delays. (published flight times have increased 50% i...
