[quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's this scenario: Relative knows they are traveling to DC. Relative is looking forward to/hoping to see Op - either believing they are "closer" than Op is letting on, or relative (especially older relatives can be this way) wishes to strengthen the bond. The intent is all good. Op was probably taught (thinking she's being polite, doesn't realize she's NOT being genuine) that it's "nice" to have said, "please come visit us anytime" said to this relative or just said to family in general. So, relative is coming. Relative is traveling with someone else. Surprise, surprise! Or course they are! People travel with others. It's a friend. It's someone Op doesn't know. Op, you ought to be glad they aren't going to be needy for your companionship. BUT AGAIN, declining is absolutely fine. Do it! (well, you've done it already) But at least consider that their "motives" aren't negative. [/quote]
