COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) €” South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford was in South
America during a dayslong unexplained absence, not hiking the
Appalachian Trail as his staff told the public when state leaders raised
questions about his whereabouts, the governor told a newspaper.

The State reported that Sanford arrived Wednesday morning at Atlanta's
Hartsville-Jackson International Airport on a flight from Buenos Aires,
Argentina.

Sanford's spokesman Joel Sawyer declined to comment Wednesday morning to
The Associated Press

The Republican told the South Carolina newspaper he decided at the last
minute to go to the South American country. The governor says he had
considered hiking on the Appalachian Trail but wanted to do something
"exotic."

additional details about what he did other than to say he drove along
the coastline.
