Synopsis:
When sisters, Deborah & Nancy, discovered that motherhood was a temp job they decided to run away from home. After packing up that last kid for college, and facing the sad stillness of their suddenly quiet homes, they decided to leave the country. 2 BROADS ABROAD: MOMS FLY THE COOP is a funny, irreverent, occasionally poignant travel tale of their impulsive road trip around Ireland.
In this witty warm-hearted adventure, they experienced some of Irelandâs quirkier history while sharing universally relatable stories of maniacal school coaches, neurotic neighbors, and tiger moms. Having kicked that empty nest into their rearview mirror, the sisters took off careening down the wrong side of the road, making questionable choices, getting trapped in a medieval tower, sneaking Chinese take-out into a famous cooking school, drinking way too much, and gaining a changed perspective on their lives ahead.

Excerpt
When we thought about the phases of our lives at each juncture of change: our own departure from home, our first real job, our marriages, the birth of our children, all of the big phases of change held out something new for us. This change was shaping up very differently. This change was loss â complete dissolution of the fundamental family structure forever and that was all. We had to plan. We needed to be proactive. The alternative was to be left standing frozen in time, in a life that had moved on without us, and to become observers and visitors in our kids' lives. Not acceptable. So, we set our imaginations loose. We considered our location. Now that we knew we were leaving â where could we go? âAngkor Wat,â I said. âWat what?â Nancy asked. âItâs the largest temple in the world, built in 1125.â âWhere is it?â âCambodia.â âUh, huh. Deborah, I was thinking more along the lines of a bucolic vineyard in Tuscany. You know, stroll along the hills, sample the fruit of the vine, nectar of the gods?â âOh. Okay, how would you feel about a camel trek in Morocco?â âProbably sore, smelly, and hot. And I understand camels are mean and they spit. They spit, Deborah. What about a civilized boat ride down the Rhine River in Germany? They have castles and I know how you like castles.â âI do like castles, but donât you think we should go more exotic?â âThis is our first trip together. Iâd like to steer clear of nations at war, places weâd need to wear a burka, or canât speak the language, or ride on an angry animal. Surely we can agree on somewhere.â âIâve always wanted to see where grandmaâs family came from.â âMe, too!â âWith a little research and a rental car we can see the entire island in a couple of weeks.â âPerfect. Ireland it is!â
