8. In this Unpacked episode, Jill sits down with family friend Donna, fondly named the third grandmother, to explore how travel evolves through every stage of life – from raising kids to retiring, from traveling as a couple to adventuring with grandkids in tow. From paragliding in Austria to a luxury ranch stay in Montana, Donna shares honest reflections on slowing down, staying curious, navigating limitations, and finding joy in letting others take the lead.

They also talk about what still feels thrilling at 82, why flexibility matters more than perfection, the art of sitting out of an activity without missing out, and how traveling with family creates memories that outlast the destination.
