Since 2009 Hillary Rodham Clinton. Has set the record for the most Countries traveled to by a United States Secretary of State.
351 days on the road.
Traveled to 102 Countries.
843,839 miles.
Her latest trip was a 13 day journey to France, Afghanistan, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Egypt and Israel.
It racked up 27,000 miles.
All booked on Travelocity of course. ;)
The world is getting smaller. I remember when Kissinger did his shuttle diplomacy thing. It seemed new and different and effective. Now you wonder why they don't just use Skype till you realize that there is no privacy, no security and a high potential for misunderstanding with that type communication.
I for one am glad we have a secretary of state who will commit to face to face meetings to make our policies clear and personal. It doesn't hurt that she knows how government works and they know, she knows.
For the most part, she's been a very good Sec. State. I like her work ethic.
It would be fun to fly if you didn't have to go through TSA security.

I am applying for that job actually. Partly just to see how far I get. And the groping.
I'm getting on a plane Friday - hope for the grope!

Thursday for me. Hoping for "The Shocker."
I like it when they handle me.
I try to control my moaning, it tends to upset the other travelers.
