Sabbatical expenses

Anyone work with folks in fields where sabbaticals are normal?

I have a TP who is employed as a politician and in a professional field, and also has SE income as probably the most well-respected author in that same field.

He took a 3 month sabbatical this year and went away to work on his next book. He was in Costa Rica, living in a friend's condo, so living expenses were relativly low. He worked hard on his book for some part of most days, and was in touch with his legislative aide M-F working on things. Airfare from here was next to nothing.

After checking sections on working away from home, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to allow him to deduct. Was it a working vacation, or a relaxing work environment? He could have worked on the book here, but he knew he wouldn't have gotten nearly as much done, because the other work demands on his time would have been far greater.
