Wow - what an interesting book...I just emailed DH to hit the local bookstore and pick it up (is in stock) :-) We have made joke after joke about just packing it up here and heading out into the world....my father just about did that 3 years ago....he and his wife had had enough of the rat race and decided to hightail it to New Zealand...they have just completed their citizenship and never plan on coming back (other than to visit) and now when he is not teaching medical students at the local college, they are galavanting around the world :-)
