2. How far away do you live from your various family members?
Maybe 45 minutes from my parents, and 55 from my brother. My cousins live all over the US but the ones I'm closest to are in MD & VA. I see them a few times a year and talk to my cousin Barb at least once a month or so.
3. When was the last time you visited with relatives?
We saw the hubby's siblings every weekend Jan thru June working on the house project, and attending niece's graduation in June, and MIL we visited in NC last month. My side - saw my parents a few months ago, but talk to my dad a few times a week, talked to my brother last week, and saw my cousin and Aunt in Texas over Spring Break. Need to plan a visit to the Wisconsin relatives in the Spring.
4. Do your relatives travel to visit you?
They come into town to visit the relatives in Maryland and then everyone gets together. We missed the visit with my family this year because of the deadline on SIL's house reno and getting her into the house. We were installing her plumbing / bathroom that weekend
5. How do you stay in touch with family: phone calls, email, snail mail, texts, other?
All of the above and social media - use both Facebook and Facebook Messenger quite often
