A pair of best friends from Texas are proving that adventure doesn't have an age limit -- even when you're 81.
Ellie Hamby, a documentary photographer, and Sandy Hazelip, a physician and lecturer, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt.
"But when we stepped foot on the ground on the Antarctic, you forgot all of that," she recalled."The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable to see the penguins and the icebergs and the glaciers -- just, this was amazing." The two bonded over their shared interest in travel and commitment to prioritizing unique experiences over comfort and amenities while abroad. Both became closer as widows after Hamby's husband died in 2005."I just got the idea because we had traveled previously together internationally," she said.
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. "We always say when we started this, we did not plan a vacation," she added."We planned an adventure. And every single day was an adventure."
