[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I paid all the costs for my brother, SIL and their two kids when they visited us. We went to Disney, all the DC and NYC touristy stuff, Niagara Falls, San Francisco and the surrounding area and Seattle. We stayed with family in some of these places and in normal accommodations in the rest, nothing fancy. It was a substantial amount of money but it was also a once in a lifetime trip for them, so I didn’t mind. I wouldn’t pay for aunts and cousins though.[/quote]

OP here. I always pay for my mom, dad and brother. This is a once in a lifetime trip for my aunts and uncles. One cousin will be joining them. My parents would want to treat but so not have the means so it falls on me. We can afford to do it. I will just plan to pay for everything once they get here.[/quote]

This simply does not sound fun or with it to me whatsoever. Being responsible for a bunch of people’s overseas expenses and time and lodging and health and shopping and eating and itinerary. And for longer than 4 days? No way, I’m out. Throwing money at it doesn’t cut it either. [/quote]
