Step 1 - Log onto facebook. Notice every member of your family is headed to the beach for the weekend, with one exception - you.
Step 2 - Grumble. Complain. Decide to be an adult and get over it.
Step 3 - Log back onto facebook. Read multiple status updates about how much fun they are having. Look at accompanying photos. Smiling happy nieces. Nieces you hardly ever get to see.
Step 4 - Update own facebook status - "Amy is in Paris for the weekend...because that's how I roll."
