It is really hard because, I mean, yeah, I've seen my CA relatives maybe four times in the past decade, and the total hours would be less than a day's time, and we really, really don't have anything in common... but there's not talking to someone because of awkwardness etc, and then there's going out of your way to deliberately snub them, which is more where my cousins (and aunts and uncles, to lesser degrees) all fall. (I suppose, in their defense[?], I didn't approach any of them, either, this trip, just because last time I was out there, they were all so rude.)
I really think they go out of their way to make plane travel inconvenient and miserable. The only thing it has going for it is speed. Someone needs to figure out teleportation, already.
