By the way,my boyfriend,the love of my life,is half Italian and half Irish. He was talking to me on the phone last week and he mentioned that he was a bit jealous and most importantly he feared because of the issue of me taking a plane flight. What was I supposed to tell him?Why didn't he tell me earlier? Why doesn't he just say what he feels at the moment? I value his important tremendously....I understand his concerns after our conversation but how I am supposed to turn down this opportunity? I've always wanted to travel to Europe! And honestly isn't there always risks in life, in general?
