They keep making noises about doing it, but none of them ever have despite my invitations. I have no issues with my brother only coming once, because he lives half a world away! And my Mom did come in May for son's graduation. Her and my Dad did come visit every couple years or so when my Dad was still alive too, on their RV trips with friends. But my siblings, and my friends?! Why is it always me that has to travel?!
One reason might be that when you travel - people think of it as you are going to visit home - that may not be your take one it, but it would be a take on it. Also - you visit many people when you travel rather than individuals flying out to see you. You, in a manner of speaking, kill many birds with one stone when you fly to see family and friends and they would only be killing one going to where you live. I am not saying you need to keep doing it - only offering one explanation for it.
