[quote=Anonymous]Well since you fully admit that you are prepared to travel extensively and expensively again for your own pleasure, I can see why any financial and health excuses will sound like blatent lies.  So just be honest that you don't want to go.  Explain that it's not because you don't support the event but that you have hesitations for political, religious and group travel reasons.  Tell him that you can't help it if he judges you accordingly but that you have to be honest and do what works for you.  And then just be big enough to own your decision and the consequences of it - whatever they may be.  You can't control people's opinions, just your reaction to them.  He may be hurt and you have to see his side just as much as your own.  Remind him again that you love and support your nephew/niece (it was a nephew at first but it seems to have morphed into a niece later so I'm not sure where the post derailed and which it really is) and are happy he/she is getting the opportunity to celebrate in a place so meaningful to him/her.[/quote]
