My ILs are in NYC right now. They want us to visit there, but there are two problems. The main thing is that they were originally going to stay in a 1 BR, but then changed their minds because they found out about Jackson Heights. It was a last minute thing and now they're in a studio and complaining how cramped the two of them are.
They aren't visiting us because we don't have a house. Instead, they are going to Arizona to stay with my friend's parents (who do have a house), and we're supposed to join them there.
DH decided that he'll go on his own to NY, since it will be so crowded and we're already paying for 4 tickets to AZ. MIL objects strongly because she doesn't think I should stay on my own. I can feel DH caving... and I see no point in paying for me to go when everyone will just feel cramped.
In addition, before marriage I agreed to go to India every other year, which I think is plenty. Since we went for the wedding, 2012 would be our next trip. SIL has very nearly said yes to getting married, which will probably be in March. That's another major expense for us coming up, which makes me more disinclined to travel around the US this summer. DH also announced that we have to go to India again in 2013 for his HS reunion. Ugh. Every trip is going to be expensive and exhausting. SIL's wedding will mean traveling to 3 towns.
Don't get me wrong... I like going to India... I just also like going to other, new places and/or actually seeing things, which I know I won't on those two trips.
