  1. They went to Antarctica! Amazing! That’s when you know you’re truly worldly.

  2. This is something to strive for!

  3. My inspiration!! ❤❤

  4. Yes but not every one has money do that

  5. Man they don't even look 80

  6. Yall are so flipping cute! Thank you for inspiring friendship travels for the memories & love. I appreciate you ladies sharing this adventure with us. Heart be still🥰🫶🏾

  8. I agree with @mermaidofaloha … Same age 60 and I'm never complaining about getting my 7500 steps a day in or yoga stretches. Use it or lose it…I better start saving for my world tour!🙂

  9. As an avid traveler I am afraid to say i won't be travelling to the United States as long as it still requires the two vaccinations. The rest of the developed world doesn't require vaccines for travel and it has been this way for a few months leaving the US isolated and embarassed again. Why is the USA so paranoid and hostile towards outsiders? One would think that the present administration would be more accommodating and welcoming. The USA's loss yet again.

  10. Amazing! I’m looking forward to this age.

  11. So precious! God bless them

  12. Oh, this is awesome 🤩🤩🤩

  13. This is wonderful. It’s a shame that their grandchildren won’t have the support of Social Security to live above poverty past age 67, much less able to follow in their footsteps.

  14. At 81 they figured out America is not the only country on earth😂😂

  15. Bravo. You are my new heroes.

  16. 🎉❤Great idea Ladies, inspiring !

  17. They live before they die

  18. Age is more than a number. Let’s be real. Eggs have an expiration date. But make the most of the brief time you have.

  19. money is just a #….age is a clock.

  20. Way to go girls 🎉❤You both look fantastic and full of energy for your age. Beautiful ❤

  21. This is my plan for when I get older only I'm having a head start and I've already visited ten countries and lived in two different continents. Life is too short to wait.

  22. Wonderful feel-good story. Exactly what America needs to forget U.S. media's role in leading us into a 20 year war.

  23. I'd watch a movie about this

  24. They get home, their house was robbed

  25. Number 1 thing? Money! That is also only a number I guess😂

  26. I'm grateful for the effort that went into creating this content. 🙌

  27. I'm glad I've not waited this long to go places and meet people! Good for them!

  28. It's never too late. And I'm only 60. These beautiful ladies make me feel so young.♥️

  29. Love it , love it, love it !!!!

  30. 🤦🏽 at the Egyptian guy getting handsy

  31. For God so loved the World He gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in him Shall not perish but have ever lasting life. John 3:16 KJV
    For by Grace are ye Saved through faith, and not of yourselves it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9kjv

  32. 👍.I was at a retirement seminar and the speaker spoke on how he quit his job after he made well over $950,000 PROFIT within 3months he invested $120,000. I just began investing and i will really appreciate any tips or helpful guide.

  33. Excellent form and such happy spirits. Life is for the living ! Way to go, ladies🥂

  34. >>>>>Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy have been earning $56,000 returns from my $8,000 investment every 14days with the help of Isabella smith's.

  35. we should all be so LUCKY!

  36. And another very important story from Fake News 😂

  37. Good, a lot of money style

  38. It should be renamed "what the wealthy do in their 80s." Most people don't have enough money to go around the world.
