FLOTUS Travels

The First Lady's trip earlier this year to Africa cost a little more than $424,000 for the flights alone.

This cost doesn't include any other expenses---such as food, lodging, ground transportation or security.

Twenty-one family and staff also went to Africa.

Mrs Obama's daughters were listed as "Senior Staff".

This information was discovered by Judicial Watch only after filing a lawsuit based on the Freedom of Information Act.

The First Lady spoke on education and health on stops at several cities.  The trip then ended with a private safari for the family.
