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.

This is a nice book about empty nesters telling stories about life before becoming empty nesters. From the book description, “Going Gypsy is the story of a life after raising kids that is a celebration of new experiences.” I got to chapter 29 of 32. The actual description should be, “Going Gypsy is the story of a life raising kids that is a celebration of family experiences.” They gloss over “journey of over 10,000 miles along the back roads of America.” When the dude started chapter 29 with, “Now what? We visited all the friends and family,” I seriously thought I must have missed it. I remember them taking about the world’s record ball of paint at one point, the crazy regional food they ate, and how they enjoyed non-traditional Thanksgiving with universally entwined step, ex, and removed relatives, but all the charming stories about getting a daughter to eat a carrot got in the way of those “new adventures.” Where did they go? I can’t say I know entirely.
I smiled often as they shared stories about life with children so many of us relate to… just hoped to hear about their new adventures from the big window in the front of the RV rather than so many rear view mirror stories about their families. I wanted more Charles Kuralt “life on the road” from an empty nester perspective … and instead enjoyed hearing mostly about family life. This is a book of fun stories, but not enough of the kind of travel stories you might anticipate given the title and description.
