[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I haven't read all the posts, but I'll offer this suggestion, in case no one else has.
Go to their place.  Drive so you don't have to buy tickets [b](half way across country suggests to Ohio? Indiana? [/b]You can drive there.  Or use your reward tickets.)  Have the baptism done at their church and they can invite whomever the heck they want to a party at their own house.  I recommend trays from Costco.  You can buy a cake.  It sounds like the whole thing is much more important to them than to you, so let them host.[/quote]

You don't know too much about American geography, do you?  The western edge of Ohio (Cincinnati) is about 500 miles away from here.  Indiana ranges from 500-650 miles from here.  The west coast is approximately 2900 miles from here.  You're about 2-3 states and 1000 miles off (try Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas for halfway across the country).

Driving there is about 2 days there and with older passengers, possibly 3 days back (older passengers often have to stop more often for food and/or bathroom breaks).  Driving is really not a good option if they are really halfway across the country.  Even Chicago, is 11.5 hours and 700 miles away.  That's probably one very long day or two days out and 2 days back.[/quote]
