Apparently, Palin received first Passport in 2007
#26
[quote mjgkramer]I lived in Oman from 1992 through 1995 and the Netherlands from 1996 through 1999 and during that time visited 30 countries, some multiple times. If I wanted to go anywhere outside the US right now, even to Canada or Mexico, I would have to get a passport. Does that mean that I have never been outside the US. No, it would mean that my old one has expired.

Of much more importance in Sara Palin's case is whether she knows anything about world history and current events. You can travel and party all over the world and not know a thing about the countries you visit.
Note: they said she had to get a passport, not get her passport renewed. She has lived in Alaska since she was a baby. She attended college in the lower 48, Iowa I think. My point is that she has not traveled, apparently, and unless she can show that she has filled that gap with studies in History/Political Science/Current Events, then I feel she does not have enough experience to be a good decision maker in foreign affairs.

While travel alone is not enough, it does at least let you see that everyone isn't the same as in your remote little corner of the world. Don't you think your life outside the US has given you a better perspective on the similarities and differences between life and people here and in other places?
