[quote=Anonymous]My brother and his family currently live overseas.  Even before they moved we lived several hours apart so only saw eachother a couple times per year.  We get along fine, SIL is fine and lovely too, but I wouldn’t say we are super-close.

Here’s the dilemma- my younger DD graduates from HS this year and we have been planning her family graduation trip to major cities in western Europe.  Brother lives in eastern Europe, not somewhere that seems interesting and it’s not somewhere DD has on her list.  He’s under the impression we will meet up somehow- he has offered to meet us at one of our stops but to be honest I’m not sure it’s a good idea.  My younger nephews are great kids but really rambunctious and I can’t see them doing well at the museums and shopping we have planned.  We haven’t seen them in a year but they will be back in the US later in the summer and we should be able to meet up for a day at our parents at that time.

WWYD?  Try to fit them in or stick to our plans for a nuclear family vacation?  In theory DD and I could extend for a few extra days (DH and older DC need to get back for work) but it would be expensive to change at this point and there's a lot going on this summer to get ready for college.
