Adventurous Octogenarians Embark on Epic AroundTheWorld Journey

Two ladies in their 80s who just finished traveling around the world in 80 days have become social media famous in the process. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip began their adventure on Jan. 11, flying from Dallas to Ushuaia, Argentina, the launchpad to Antarctica. Hamby and Hazelip braved 20-foot waves crossing the Drake Passage on the way to the seventh continent and posed with penguins once they got there. Since then, the widowed best friends from Texas have been to every other continent, ending the journey by exploring the Grand Canyon before returning home to Texas over the weekend. During nearly three months of travel, Hamby and Hazelip have ridden camels in Egypt, thrown coins in Rome's Trevi Fountain, taken a selfie with a long-tailed macaque in Bali and ridden a dog sled in the Arctic Circle. #travel channel #travel tips #vacation ideas #Adventure travel #Luxury travel #Budget travel #travel around the world in 80 days "Welcome to Travel Horizon, where your wildest travel dreams come to life! ✈️ Join us on a whirlwind journey across the globe as we uncover the most astonishing destinations, awe-inspiring adventures, and hidden gems you've only ever dreamed of.
