I dislike family meetings in general. Luckily my family is not very technological so no one has come up with that idea.

That's one way at looking at it. Another way is to think what if this was the last time you would see them. Would you want yo see them?
I know I live in a different country to my family. I have told them when I die I don’t want them to pay to come to my funeral. If they can’t come to see me alive. Don’t come to see me dead!

Pull out the wine!
