The settlement between Gov. Sarah Palin and investigator Tim Petumenos highlights nine trips -- or portions of trips -- made by members of Palin's family at state expense.
Here is the travel Petumenos and Palin focused on, based on information from the agreement and state travel records.
• Jan. 26, 2007: The state paid about $13 for Palin's daughter Bristol to go to opening night of "Beauty and the Beast" at the Valley Performing Arts Center, according Palin's lawyer, Thomas Van Flein. A travel form filed by Palin says the governor was scheduled to attend the show too, as a narrator.
• April 18- 22, 2007: Willow Palin flew round-trip between Juneau and Anchorage for a trio of events, including an Alaska Moose Federation banquet with the governor.
• May 6-7, 2007: Palin's three daughters joined the governor in the Southeast town of Skagway for a potluck dinner and to attend a "community reception" for the Palin family. Travel forms list no hotel costs, saying the family stayed for free at a local lodge.
• May 9-10, 2007. Willow and Piper flew with the governor round-trip to Cordova on a state-owned King Air propeller plane for the taping of a documentary on shorebirds. Palin spoke to the local chamber of commerce while in town, according to travel forms.
• Oct. 7-11, 2007. Bristol traveled with Palin to New York for Newsweek's Third Annual Women and Leadership Conference. Her airfare cost $1,385, plus $38 for a meal. Travel forms say she stayed at the $707-a-night Jumeirah Essex House with the governor.

She went to the start of the Tesoro Iron Dog race, where Todd Palin was a competitor, and an Alaska Outdoor Council Banquet with the governor, according to travel forms. (Petumenos's report says Piper traveled with Palin on a state plane.)
