We’ve been home for over a year.  The transition back to our pre-trip lives was difficult.  As we ruminated in Nicaragua, we ruined our lives by hitting the open road for a year.  We were no longer satisfied with the perfectly good house, our perfectly stable and financially secure jobs, and the perfectly fine public school education that Coconut and J were receiving.  It was all too stifling and we recognized that though our situation is ideal in many ways, we don't want to live the same year for the next 40 years and call it a life.  I guess that’s what you would call a midlife crisis.
