i actually had a similar experience, and i was also going to new zealand, but it was due to some course credits that i needed to have assessed, and i was told i wasn’t able to take the courses i wanted… but i just went anyhow (i had already bought my ticket, sold belongings, etc) and it turned out okay.

BUT new zealand! such a great spot in my humble opinion. you should get out to piha if you get a chance – good surf there and some great surf instructors. but be careful of the undertow – it is a doooozy!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing this post! We are just starting on our family adventure, but I know things will probably not work out as we are imagining they will and we will have to be all sorts of creative and resourceful. I love the advice to show up in person, call, email, whatever it takes.

You know, I learned this lesson not long ago when I couldn’t leave Costa Rica because my son is a registered Costa Rican and my hubby wasn’t there to grant his permission. So we got turned back at the airport and had to jump through a zillion red tape hoops in immigration there, while he was meeting with the consulate in Atlanta. It was a mess, but we were each persistent and honest, upfront, humble… we BEGGED… and finally got to come home!

Thank you for this wonderful reminder: persistence, determination, creativity, resourcefulness and patience (just what the doctor ordered!).

Brady, we got lucky with the rental property. No major regrets, although it was retarded of us to get involved like we did. I got in no money down and actually walked away from closing with a grand.

I took a big risk and it worked out in the very short-term. I’ll consider writing more about these details at some point!

Shoot me an e-mail when you arrive! Would love to meet for coffee or lunch. Sounds like having been through this crap before will help.

Very true. The ability to adapt is one area we’ve grown in by leaps and bounds.
