[GNC] Tracking Travel expenses

I'm not sure there is a 'recommended' method. (and that would be an 
'accounting' question anyway)

However, I have the following in my account tree:

Expenses:
   -Entertainment:
     -Travel:
       -Food
       -Lodging
       -Transportation

That way I can keep those separate from my 'everyday' expenses that are 
similar.

My chart of accounts has turned more into a 'purpose' driven model than 
a 'categorization' model.

When/if reporting becomes more flexible, this may change and I may 
consolidate some accounts again and resort to tagging.

Regards,
Adrien
