Choose one this time and go to the other next time. Hopefully they will understand, you're on a budget and have to live like it. Also, it is a vacation afterall, and you should be allowed to enjoy it without being stressed about so many long drives or putting yourself in financial jeapardy with the cost of a plane trip (or 2 or 3). - OR - Rent an RV and have a grand time touring the states you have to drive thru, and make the drive part of the vacation instead of feeling like the vacation is when you get there.<div class="me">Well, part of that is my problem because there's nothing to do in Idaho and I'd like to do something fun other than visit my brother. That's a bit selfish of me, I know. :) It turns out that J probably can't get the time off to do it anyhow, so we're back to the drawing board, so to speak.</div></p> I’d suggest telling them that you can only realistically go to one place or the other.
