It is a given that when you travel to a location with family, you stay with them. None of this delicate fishing around for invites, etc. It's just a given. I would think my family was incredibly rude if they either made us stay in a hotel or that they didn't open up their homes. Well, maybe not rude, but weird. The only time additional accomodation is obtained is when there are a lot of people coming (like a wedding or family reunion) and there just isn't enough room. But for everyday travel? Of course you stay with family. That's just how it is. At least that's how I thought it was until reading this board. Apparently it's not the norm I thought it was. It's the same way with my family as well. In fact, most of our family would feel offended if you didn't plan to stay with them. They would worry there was a conflict of some kind. For us, family just stays with family if you are in the same town, and that doesn't just include immediate family. I went to Florida once, and my great-great aunt and uncle insisted I stay with them, even though I didn't see them for more than a few minutes every day due to their bed time. |

I have a dedicated guest bedroom and bathroom and love having people come and stay. My siblings just call and tell me when they're going to be here. I've also had people stay when I'm not even home. I just give them the code for my garage door.
