I've been on similar projects in the UK, Netherlands and Norway. I visited various parts of each country or region on the weekends and was able to expense most of my weekend sightseeing. Even pulled off a trip to Munich for Oktoberfest one weekend

How do you expense weekend sightseeing, exactly? I'm interested in learning more about how to do this.
