$2,200 for two nights in DC including air fare is pretty much rock bottom.

I guess you don’t recall Ewart sarcastically telling us we shouldn’t expect him to stay at the Quality Inn.

The intent is good but come on a Bermuda……… These are a Government ministers and as such represent the country. Sleeping in flea bag hotels reflects badly on the company. This nickle and diming is crazy! Let’s get on with the important matters.

At least there was no Gombey entourage and bodyguards.

He flew economy as well.

Thank you for the transparency we did not see from 1998 to 2012.

I’m still waiting for the travel statistics people to publish some trips that the PLP took for comparisons sake.

I’m thinking this will look dirt cheap compared to the PLP who always took an army of clingons to carry bags etc.

His whole trip is still cheaper than a first class ticket to India…

$1,465.15 for two nights? Come on man, your party is under scrutiny, stay at a Holiday Inn Express! Crazy that you stay at nicer hotels than I do when I work at a private company. What is the approved list of hotels for government trips?
