Not to point out the obvious, but that's a full day of travel for a funeral. Not sure it is common to drop everything and go to a funeral of a foreign leader. And if he did, I'm sure we'd hear constant b#tching about how much it cost for him to jet-set around the world, or how he should have done more presidenting.
