I am also afraid that the ride home will be terrible more so than the drive down. I guess I am just venting as I try to figure out what is best. If I don’t do this then it will be the end of April before we get down there.

I read an article sometime ago where a guy who made terrible decisions sold $1 shares of himself (1 share per person only). He would then post his situation & the related choices online, his shareholders would vote, and he would do as the majority voted.
Should I ask this person out? Do I need a new car? Should I change jobs? You get the idea. Not only did he say his life improved but he made some money from selling shares of himself.
When you think about it, how many times have you seen a friend or family member planning on doing something really dumb but will never listen to reason from anyone? Afterwards came the divorce everyone predicted, car that fell apart, business that failed, etc. I have a relative whose life would seriously improve if he stopped making such horrible decisions for himself & would even just consider taking a bit of advice on occasion.
So if you have a track record of bad choices or are just plain indecisive, I agree with your approach to taking this trip or not. See what the group has to say. Clint Eastwood as 'Dirty Harry' said
"A man has got to know his limitations".
