Growing Old Outrageously

A delightful memoir of a later-life friendship and what happens when two ladies of a certain age decide to test the maxim Leap and the net will appear! When two old school friends reconnected unexpectedly after 35 years, they discovered that they both love traveling-and the more exotic and far-flung the location, the better! Not having a clue whether they would get along, the eccentric pair embarked on a trial journey to Morocco. That tentative beginning turned into a series of wonderfully unusual trips, and Hil and Liz have been circumnavigating the globe ever since. Among many other destinations, they have taken in Marrakech, Fez, and the Atlas Mountains; Patagonia and the Galapagos Islands; Istanbul and Cappadocia. They've been on safari in Namibia, Botswana, and the Serengeti, attended music festivals in Naples and Prague, and made a pilgrimage to the western isles of Mull and Iona. Along the way they have encouraged, enraged, and entertained each other, while living through countless adventures. This is a book for thrill seekers and armchair travelers alike, a celebration of friendship and laughter, and an inspiration for anyone who has longed to venture outside their comfort zone and travel to exotic places.
