The Robinas have shared a wonderful life for over 60 years. Now in their 80's, Ella suffers from cancer and John has Alzheimers. Yearning for one last adventure, the self proclaimed "down on their luck geezers" kidnap themselves, leave their adult children and doctors, and leave their Detroit suburban home on a forbidden vacation. Ella is the co pilot and John drives their 78 Leisure Seeker RV along Rt 66 toward Disneyland in search of a past they are having a hard time remembering.
This is a bit of a depressing story - you know how it is going to end. It catches you because it is so real. If you were in their positions , you might make the same choices. They are taking their lives in their own hands and finishing it the way they want. Not a bad read
