ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Republican presidential nominee John McCain took an afternoon away from the campaign trail Saturday, traveling to the U.S. Naval Academy for his 50th class reunion.

McCain and his wife, Cindy, attended a private reception with other members of the Class of 1958.

McCain later headed to the "Admiral's Bridge" above the Academy's stadium to watch the first quarter of the football game pitting the Midshipmen against Rutgers University's Scarlet Knights.

Navy won, 23-21.

McCain's son, Jack, is a student at the Naval Academy. The Arizona senator often tells self-deprecating jokes about his own years there, noting that he graduated fifth from the bottom of his class.

Other members of the Class of 1958 include former academy superintendent Charles Larson, retired astronaut Bruce McCandless and John Poindexter, a national security adviser to President Reagan and a figure in the Iran-Contra scandal.

Before making the 45-minute drive to Annapolis, McCain spent much of the morning at campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va., preparing for his first nationally televised debate with Democrat Barack Obama. The debate will take place Friday at the University of Mississippi.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is scheduled to meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai this coming week in New York, campaign officials for McCain confirmed Saturday.

Karzai and other world leaders will convene in New York for the opening of the U.N. General Assembly.

Both McCain and Palin planned to be in New York during that time, in part so McCain can introduce the Alaska governor to the foreign dignitaries assembled there.

McCain campaign officials said Palin may have meetings with other world leaders, but declined to say which ones.

The meeting comes as the campaign works to assure voters that Palin has sufficient understanding of foreign policy to be vice president.

She has acknowledged having little experience in international affairs and got her first passport in 2007 to visit Alaska National Guard members serving in Kuwait and Germany.
