We don't travel much, but when we do, we call my parents and my husband's mother. It mostly depends on where we are going and for how long. Just a day trip to visit family upstate, we don't call anyone. When we went down to North Carolina to see my parents, I called them to let them know when we arrived at the hotel, but I never called my mother-in-law, not sure why. I guess I didn't feel it was necessary, she knows our cellphone numbers if she needs us. I also called my parents to let them know when we arrived home safely. They do reciprocate this, on an even bigger scale, they email us their itinerary for their trips, much more important now that my dad has been fighting lung cancer. They also let us know when they have arrived back home safely, either by phone or email. I don't think I would call anyone else, just the parents so they don't worry.
