they live in spain
Don’t get me wrong my cousin is a cool dude, my boyfriend liked him to. And he and his gf offered us we could stay over at their home next time if we decide to come back here again at vacation like sleep over instead of a hotel. I think its a nice tough but at the same time i love to have free will and a bit of privacy. Where we don’t need to tell people if we going somewhere or not eat dinner at the house because we want to eat at a restaurants instead. They do have a pool (but not as nice as most hotels have big pools, they have a small one). also hotels always give me vacation vibes! Where you don’t have to do dishes or make your own food or clean your own bed.

For me the thing is that it wouldn’t feel like a vacation and more like going for a family visit. Im introvert so i don’t wan’t to spend like 2 weeks with my cousin and his gf that i don’t even talk to on daily basis. Idk maybe its just how i am and feel? He took initiative to ask us to meet up this year when we where there. Very cool and nice to see him! But atm it does take a whole day of the vacation where we could have done other things since he mostly wanted us to visit them at their home whole day, they lived like 40 mins away from our hotel. I didn’t ask or said first since i didn’t want to bother them. But also had lots of plans. But i feel like if you go to a vacation same place as a family member lives then its expected to pay them a visit.

I think this is perfectly reasonable. There’s nothing wrong with explaining that you have a busy few weeks planned with various plans, but even stopping over for a night or two would be nice or at the very least visiting. Different cultures and different people are content with different experiences, and that is fine.
