Cancel study abroad to save GPA?

Got blown out of the water this sem. Falling from like a 3.8 to low 3.5s. Already accepted an offer at one of my top IB choices. Currently a junior. Wanted to spend a semester abroad next year, but now it's looking like a bad idea since I wouldn't be able to use that semester to recover my GPA. I'm more interested in A2A than PE, but idk for sure, so I would need to keep my options open.

I feel like I'd never get an opportunity to spend an extended time abroad again, so it feels sucky to cancel it. I really don't want to cancel, but would it be the best decision at this point?

Can you just take your classes remote and live abroad?  I did that during COVID and it was fun as hell
