The trip, which was a tightly held secret until the very end among only a few aides, began about 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday in Crawford. Mr. Bush left his ranch in an unmarked car, not the usual presidential limousine, for the private airport he uses near Waco, Tex. Aides said they did not want to attract attention, so there was no motorcade and no blocked streets. Mr. Bush said he even tried to disguise his appearance, as did Ms. Rice. ,

"They pulled up a plain-looking vehicle with tinted windows," Mr. Bush told reporters. "I slipped on a baseball cap, pulled 'er down — as did Condi. We looked like a normal couple."......


Mr. Bush was asked by reporters if there was any point during the trip's planning when he thought it was too risky and that he should not go. He had a ready reply.

"Yeah, all along," he said. "I mean, I was the biggest skeptic of all."
