How far away are some of your family members?

[Rachie0507]

Most of my family, immediate and extended, are right here in the same small city. My sister moved away but she is only 45 minutes away!! My Dh's family though is far. His immediate family is all in town, but extended family is in Canada. I love that our kids get to visit an area though with a completely different culture (rural, farming areas in New Brunswick, mostly French speaking). We make the 11 hour trek every three years for reunions.

Parents - one mile
Sister - one block past them
Brother - Texas -too dang far!!!

 

[Hermosa11]

I have NO relatives of MINE.......locally.
Aunt/Uncle 600 miles away in San Diego, CA.......and Mom's aunt's in Michigan.
(Both parents passed away)

Fraternal siblings: Boston, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon.
Cousins: Chicago, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Maryland, Key West, North Carolina, Detroit, untold other places.

And we can usually stay with any of them (within moderation!)

I forgot In-laws in Florida: the Ft. Lauderdale area. Big paybacks due to my wife, whom I did not get to edit my previous post.

Too far.

Most of my family is further away than they were 9 months ago...

I moved to Florida, Mom's now 45 minutes away. For almost all of my adult life, I've lived in Maryland and the rest of the family (just about) was in NY/NJ/LI and more recently, Florida.

Mom wishes I lived closer than the 45 minutes, but I don't think that I can have anyone live too close after having the four hours distance. The good part of that is that siblings that I didn't want camping out at my house never did!

Two people I consider family (boyfriend - England; best best friend - Scotland) - these two are TOO FAR away especially

My mom and dad, grandmother, father in law, sister in law, brother in law and niece live in Va. I have another brother in law and sister in law in NC, and my brother, my sister in law and twin nieces live in Tennessee, but will be moving to North Carolina this summer. At least that is a bit closer!

We are the only ones in Chicago. My entire family and DH's family all live within 30 minutes of each other in the Cleveland area. (DH and I went to the same high school) We are the only ones to venture out. I sometime wish we were closer. Then we visit......and enjoy the distance.

[Tasha+Scott]

My family is pretty spread out. My parents and siblings live in Mississippi. My mom and brothers are an hour away from me. My dad is 2 and 1/2 hours away. My half-sisters are about 15 min. away. My grandparents (both maternal and paternal) live in Florida, as well as quite a few aunts, uncles, and cousins. I also have family in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Tennessee, and Alabama. I may have family in other states, but those are the only ones I can think of now.

Dh's whole family lives here and in Alabama though.

I have some cousins in California. My immediate family though, all lives within a half hours drive.
