[quote=Anonymous]So we have 2 long-distance rural relatives and 2 long distance non-rural relatives. We visit the 2 long-distance non-rural relatives 1-2xs per year but have no idea how to handle visiting rural relatives. The challenges are great 1) no direct flights 2) driving distance from nearest airports is 1-3 hours, 3) hotels are >30minute drive from their house 4) for the other there is no airport, 10 hour drive. Of the two rural relatives one is poor and won't travel with kids. The other is retired and willing to travel. I feel guilty that we never see these two relatives, but it really is extremely hard to get to them especially dragging kids along that hate the car and car seats. Plus when you add the cost of these trips together (4 different places per year) it really adds up. Do you have experience with this? How did you strike a balance? Did you wait until your kids were older? (Ours are 1 and 3).[/quote]
