Old news (and I've not read the book [yet?]), but I want to throw this article at all the people I've met who think that everyone over 50 should just curl up and wait to die. How unoriginal!
In a way, this woman reminds me of my grandmother and great-aunt. Their great passion was travel, and they did a LOT of it. My grandmother visited Europe for the first time in her 80s. My great-aunt had visited every state and had a huge 90th birthday party on a cruise to Alaska.
Here's to people who keep going!

Damn, that's cool!
