Congresscritters discover glamorous new destination, get to hear explosions.

Yes! The green room is out, the Green Zone is in!
Lawmakers wearing bulletproof vests are shuttled around in heavily guarded Black Hawk helicopters or Humvees. Many report hearing blasts they later realized were bombings.

Also, they get per diem!
$1,200 Per diem for lawmakers' room and board in Kuwait. In Jordan it is $800. (Note: Officials refuse to provide figure for Iraq.)

Better yet, nobody knows how much!
