About this listen
Almost every couple faces a "now what?" moment as their last kid moves out of the house. There's a big empty nest looming over this new and uncertain stage in their lives.
David and Veronica James chose to look at this next phase of life as a beginning instead of an ending. Rather than staying put and facing the constant reminders of empty bedrooms and backseats, a plan began to develop to sell the nest and hit the highway. But could a homebody helicopter mom learn to let go of her heartstrings and house keys all at once?
Filled with a sense of adventure and humor, Going Gypsy is the story of a life after raising kids that is a celebration of new experiences. Pulling the rip cord on the daily grind, David and Veronica throw caution to the wind, quit their jobs, sell their house, put on their vagabond shoes, and go gypsy in a beat-up old RV found on eBay. On a journey of over 10,000 miles along the back roads of America (and a hysterical, error-infused side trip into Italy), they conquer old fears, see new sights, reestablish bonds with family and friends, and transform their relationships with their three grown children from parent-child to adult-to-adult. Most importantly, they rediscover in themselves the fun-loving youngsters who fell in love three decades prior.

The whole family moved away from "home"
This book is all about being open to lifes posibilitys. When a door opens, throw yourself at it before it closes. This is the story about a family that took the chances, and the grown upp did not force this on the children in my opinion. This was all carefully planer out even if they had to do it fast to not miss the opportunity. Rekommend always.

empty nest blues 💙 no more ! !
this book was exciting at times , performed brilliantly love the 2 voices .
A different viewpoint for people of a certain age , at a certain stage of their lives. It felt like an honest story that takes you on their journey through their children leaving 💔 and how they coped with it.
The narrative was comedic at times but also sensitive , definitely worth a read/listen .
