The wheels came off

 

We identified some "must haves" before leaving for Brazil which included at least one job between us.  Carol was going to hold that job, but about two months before our departure we learned the that it wasn't going to work out. I panicked and raced through red flags like a world cup skier straight into a bad job that ended dramatically a while back. Guess what? We are just fine. Being unemployed in Brazil isn't a tragedy. Waiting until everything was perfect would have been a tragedy. Letting the dream die would be a tragedy. The wheels came off but there are paths in places where wheels can't go. We are snowboarders and much prefer sliding to rolling anyway.
