Dude, I just posted a link that she took a trip to Africa with the girls. So try again.

How many times did they go to Maine too?
490 in Crawford and 487 days at Camp David
Laura without George:
July 8, 2001 – Yosemite National Park, California.
July 27, 2003 – Olympic National Forest, Washington.
July 20, 2004 – Glacier National Park, Montana.
July 23, 2006 – Denali National Park & Preserve, Alaska (she arrived by train).
May 1, 2007 – Zion National Park, Utah.
June 2008 – Mount Desert Island, Maine.
I cannot seem to locate which National Park, if any, they went to in 2002 and 2005.
Naturally, these hiking vacations did include friends (from what I could find, there were 4 friends with Mrs. Bush) and sometimes Air Force II and always with Secret Service Agents and some staff, as is necessary for a first lady.
Then, we have the “working vacations”:
July 2005 – with daughters on an African safari. Also, part of this “vacation” was spent with young female AIDS victims in Zambia listening to stories of abuse and taking mosquito nets to southern Africa so children could be protected from malaria.
October 2007 – Mrs. Bush traveled around the middle east raising awareness of Breast Cancer.
March 2008 – Mexico. More breast cancer awareness.
March 2008 – Haiti. To promote increased funding for AIDS patients and support education.
From 2000-2007 Laura took 14 trips overseas without George
