Elizabeth, pictured here with a family member, is celebrating her 130th country visit today. We talked with her about her past traveling adventures.
Her favorite country is Tibet. She's been there twice, thus far.
Elizabeth told us that she's been traveling from a very early age. She was a passanger on a research vessel when she was 8 - headed to the Arctic! That ship later sank in the North Atlantic storm that inspired the movie The Perfect Storm. Elizabeth was also caught in that storm - she held onto a bunk for 2 days while the boat was beaten by the waves.
Walking through the museum exhibits, Elizabeth could relate to the ordeal of the men of the Molasses Reef Wreck - just like them, she's seen first hand the power of the open seas!
Thanks for this nice note about my mother, Elizabeth Aikin.. who is 90 and 1/2 years old.
