SC governor heads to Europe for family vacation
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford and his family have arrived in London for a two-week European vacation.
Television station WBTV in Charlotte reports that Sanford, his wife and four sons boarded a U.S. Airways flight bound for London’s Gatwick Airport on Wednesday evening. The governor initially had said they were leaving Thursday.
According to the airline’s Web site, the flight landed at 2:13 a.m. EDT Thursday.
The last time he left the country was a secret trip to Argentina to see his mistress in June. He publicly confessed his yearlong affair when he returned.
The governor says he and his wife, Jenny, had planned the trip to Europe with their four sons for some time. They returned Monday from several days away as they work on their marriage.
