Houston, we have a problem...

If you were offered an 11 day, all expenses paid, luxury accomodations all the way vacation to Scotland with your in-laws would you go? Would you go if it were organized by one of the more vocal homophobic, republican, religious right spiritual "leaders" of our time?

This is an unusual problem. One that needs to be discussed over drinks. ALOT of drinks.

If we say no we miss what could possibly the trip of a lifetime. If we say yes we get what could possibly be the most torturous 11 days of our lives, and I get some great photos. And don't forget the emotional strings attached when traveling with family. *shudders*

Maybe I could pretend I was a spy deeply entrenched behind enemy lines of some obscure battlefield and report back via this blog and my photos what really goes on on such trips.

Or I could feel like a whore and a sellout for gritting my teeth through any religious discussion that may arise while I enjoy my "luxury accomodations" And like a penis in the morning, it will arise. (I was going to make a religious joke there and say "Like Jesus on the 3rd day, but as far as I am concerned the debate is still out on that... and wouldn't that make him a zombie?)

And being a religious group of folks they are likely to be dry... as in no stops at pubs. Something tells me this trip would require drinks on our part.

I won't even go into how much school I would miss. And I don't want to miss any school.


What would you folks do? What would Jesus do?
