WASHINGTON—— Last Memorial Day, Sen. Dick Durbin traveled to a conference at a luxury beach resort on Tunisia's Mediterranean coast.

The Democratic senator and his wife, Loretta, stayed at The Residence Tunis, which is part of the exclusive "Leading Hotels of the World" group and has a spa and Robert Trent Jones II golf course.

The trip lasted a week, when the tab for transportation, lodging and meals for the Durbins climbed to $22,113.

Durbin's stops included Svalbard, a pristine Arctic wilderness roughly halfway between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole. He went with several lawmakers after international meetings in Oslo. One aim was to drop off seeds from the U.S. Agriculture Department at a global seed vault intended to withstand wars and natural disasters. He said the stop let him see the effects of global warming.
