Would you buy 4 plane tickets, rent a car and get a hotel room to attend a (distant) family reunion? These are my mother's cousins. I would say I have met some of them 3-4 times, if ever. If it is relevant, we never vacation, and thus other destinations/trips are way higher on my list of priorities. TIA!

My mom asks why and I just tell her she never established seeing them when we were kids.

If you're not close with them, don't feel bad about not going.

Nope and I'm usually one to pack up and go anywhere as long as it isn't home...ha.

I'd spend the money elsewhere on a vacation you really want.

Or is it somewhere fun you could just hit the reunion for a day and make a decent vacation out of the rest?

Staying in touch with family is really important to me, but I wouldn't go out of my way that much to spend time with family I barely know.

This is how I feel. My sister is flabbergasted I won't go, and my mother is guilt tripping me. WTF.

We live 650 miles from both sides of family. We've learned we really have to prioritize our travel. Living far away, family cannot expect us to attend everything.

And I generally like learning about family history and extended family. I think it's neat.
