Mars or Bust: The Vacation That Went RedMars or Bust: The Vacation That Went Red by Sherridean Abddeen What was supposed to be a cheap, easy flight to Nassau turns into the wildest vacation of all time when Captain Brick accidentally flies the entire crew to Mars. From the moment they realize they’re not landing in the Bahamas but on the red planet, chaos erupts. Sherridean refuses to accept reality — setting up her beach chair on Martian dust, demanding conch salad from service robots, and turning every disaster into content. The passengers riot for rum punch, fight over overhead bins in zero gravity, survive dust storms by throwing indoor soca parties, and repeatedly beg to go home while slowly turning Mars into their dysfunctional new home. With a sleepy captain who keeps dozing off, a glitchy AI obsessed with seasoning, and one very determined blue purse, the group stumbles through asteroid fields, Venus detour threats, exploding consoles, and zero-G romantic disasters. One year later, they’re still complaining about the “weather,” but Sherridean’s beach chair remains planted firmly on the red dunes. Because even though they came for Nassau… Mars kept the chair, the camera, the love… and all the dumbness. A hilarious, heartwarming comedy about expectations vs. reality, found family, and what happens when your dream vacation takes a very wrong turn — all the way to Mars. |
