THE TOTAL COST ... for a 17-day round trip vacation to Hawaii for the President and his family and staff and security is an estimated $4,113,038.

That's interesting, but it's only taxpayer money. Here's a more interesting fact: both Presidents Bush spent every Christmas holiday at Camp David in Maryland so their security details would be able to spend as much of their Christmas time as possible at home.
