They bought a ticket that let them take any flight west for about $2k, sold their house, put all their stuff into storage, took care of insurance and little details, and left. I have two sisters, a step-sister, and a step-brother. What are you waiting for?

He's waiting until he's 59 and the kids have gone to college with full scholarship and live in the dorm.
