Today is your day Boomer! Have you heard this travel statement Boomers? "60's mean go, 70's is slow, and 80's is no." Supposed advice for Boomers and older seniors thinking about travelling the world. Well, age 81 certainly didn't stop these two women from an around-the-world trip in only 80 days! These two amazing women are Ellie and Sandy from Texas, who started their incredible journey in Anarctica....and according to Ellie: "when we stepped foot on the ground on the Antarctic, you forgot the hard part of getting there; the beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable to see the penguins and the icebergs and the glaciers -- just, this was amazing." The duo had a travel blog filled with pictures and descriptions, and advice for anyone who travels with a language barrier....just smile a lot they say! Where else did they go? Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, danced in Nepal, and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. And is age 81 too old to travel? Ellie says "getting older does give you a little bit of wisdom of making decisions. And so that's the fun part. I think at this age I appreciate so much [of] the beauty and I can really just soak it in. And for me, this was the perfect age to go. I'm so thankful." Great advice for us Boomers as we contemplate travel again in the post-pandemic world. Cheers!
