[quote=Anonymous]Me and Husband family both live oversea (same country but different cities).  
And, it takes about 24hr door-to-door and costs anywhere from $1300 ~$2000/head.

I haven't been home for the past 3 years due to my pregnancy (prevented flying), 
giving birth (we decided not to fly cuz infant being such young age), 
not enough vacation time (probably OK to take 10days off, making it to 2 weeks total vacation, 
but everytime we plan trip home, job prevents me to take longer vacation).

Only my mom (dad still working full-time, can't visit us so can't meet grand kid unless we travel home) and 
husband parents (retired, so they have time) were able to meet the grand kid.

As the baby grows, how do you guys manage to visit your oversea family when each trip will costs us at least $5000 minimum?
And, how often do you visit your family? 
I don't mind my husband taking a kid to his parents home alone (I won't take my time off if visiting his home exclusively, I will save that time to visit my family).

Just wanted to get some idea for the near future.
