[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's a whole different vibe to staying with family than staying at a hotel and 'visiting' family.  Honestly, I would not even want to visit my family if I didn't stay with them and had to stay in a hotel.  To me, I might as well go on a real vacation - beaches, touristy things, whatever - if I had to stay in a hotel to visit my family.

There's a more....I don't know what word to use, but you all get up, have breakfast together before getting "done up" to go out and about, get to stay up late in pajamas and catch up and have some drinks (without worrying about driving back to the hotel).  It's all the intimate connections that come with sharing a space that goes along with visiting family that you lose by staying at a hotel and making pre-planned visits for each day.[/quote]

We all understand this, PP. But have you been in a situation where you're sleeping on a lumpy couch, sharing one toilet with 6 other people and tripping everybody up with your suitcases because there isn't room?
There comes a point when sleeping in the same house is not feasible anymore.

You def don't have an infant and a toddler in a small apartment. This sounds like you going to visit friends just out of college or what you and your childless siblings do when you go back "home" for Christmas.[/quote]
