When President Barack Obama goes on holiday to the seaside things can get complicated.
Rooms have to be found for dozens of Secret Service agents, someone has to
carry a selection of presidential basketballs, and of course the family dog
needs his own state-of-the-art aircraft.
Arriving in the idyllic coastal retreat of Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts,
Mr Obama left behind him in Washington DC high profile debates over the
budget, government surveillance and his health care reforms. Instead, he
will spend the next eight days playing golf, going to the beach, and buying
books from the Bunch of Grapes bookstore.
In the air he swapped his suit and tie for khakis and a blue shirt with
rolled-up sleeves, while Mrs
Obama wore a yellow-and-white summer dress.
Bo, the president's Portuguese Water Dog, arrived separately on one of two MV-22 Ospreys, a hybrid aircraft which takes off like a helicopter but flies like a plane.
