[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are close and it’s important to her, I would do it (maybe just you, without husband). You might end up liking the place more than you like, or maybe your initial thoughts will be confirmed. Regardless, I just don’t think seeing “xyz bucket place” is more important than people that I love. If she didn’t care, it would be a different story. I don’t think it’s an obligation, just a really nice thing to do. [/quote]

OP here. This is where I am conflicted. I completely agree it would be "a really nice thing to do" and as I love my sister I want to make her happy. But I do wonder if my going per her "demand" would make her happy but make me resentful later on as it was not my choice. And what if my husband and I may not be able to take a nice trip that year. I know that there is no way to know this but I worry that this is part of the equation.[/quote]

Where is this place that it is so unredeeming that you are twisting yourself into knots about visiting? I have a sibling in a country I don’t particularly love very far away, but I visited (when I didn’t have much money) and had a memorable trip. About the only reason I could see boycotting is if I truly could not afford it at all (not your case), if I physically could not handle a long flight, or if the country was in the middle of a war.
