Ryan DIGEST: A foreign service officer stationed in Nepal was authorized rest and recupera- tion travel to Los Angeles, California, instead of Hong Kong, the designated relief area for employees in Nepal. He traveled by a circuitous route to Los Angeles where he stayed for just over a day before beginning his return travel to Nepal. Since he did not spend his rest and recuperation time in the continental United States as contemplated, he may be reimbursed only for the constructive cost of travel to Hong Kong, the designated relief area.
