I'm sorry that you have tension w/ your father, not exactly the role a father should be playing. However, it doesn't sound fun, but it doesn't sound 100% UNtolerable (at least based on the bits you've shared.) He is your father, and in the end, it may be one of the last few times you have to spend w/ him, especially if you are moving so far away. You never know what will happen tomorrow, and maybe you'd rather live with having a really unpleasant trip, instead of the regret of not spending the time with him? Really hard to judge the whole thing based on just a little info, but that's the advice I have, having had strained relationships in the past w/ both my parents, I think sometimes it's worth my effort to just love them and be with them.
