I'm a federal gov't employee. Incidental travel expenses are part of the daily per diem if you incur an overnite stay while in travel status. They are meant to cover off out-of-pocket expenses, long distance phone calls home, etc. Incidentals for travel in Ghana are $30.08 per day. Because they are part of the per diem they are paid regardless. Any incidental expenses above the $30.08 daily amount must be supported by receipts.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must get back to putting my feet up on my desk while enjoying a cuban cigar that I'll light with a $100 bill.
