HP executive escapes from Silicon Valley

Crazy is one word for it.

The guy walks away from a middle-management job at Hewlett-Packard, moves his wife and two kids out of their Almaden Valley home, loads them into a 37-foot RV and hits the road. The plan? Well, on the road you have time to figure out little details like that.

"We sort of jumped into it without thinking about it too much," says Philip May, 47. He’s on the phone from the Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort, a few miles from the strip. His family as been crisscrossing the country for three-plus years. "I think if I would have thought about it too much I wouldn’t have done it."

But now he’s glad he did.
