I try. Since I'm an immigrant, I have family back home to visit. Plus, my wife works for an airline, and always encourages me to travel. She always jokes about the "Marry Me, Fly for Free" culture of airline workers. This time I wanted to visit some family members I didn't see on my last couple of trips. Usually we fly home through Paris as there is no non-stop on the big D from Frankfurt to Boston (only Lufthansa which we would have to pay for). This time we decided to try Lisbon, to see how it would work out as a plan B, and because we have never been there.

Then, I work for an international company, and travel for work. Lately, it's only been internationally for training at the factory. Also, with this job I don't have the lower 48, Ontario, and Quebec as my territory anymore.
 
If I may....For starters, the race of Men was the most susceptible to Sauron's evil influence. That's why the Nazgûl were former kings of Men. In life, they desired power so much that the rings from Sauron totally corrupted them and firmly trapped them in the wraith world. Most fans assume that seeing the One Ring and imagining how it could have saved Gondor was just too much for Boromir. His mannish instincts took over, as the One Ring called for him to take it for himself. However, there might have been a much more practical reason that Boromir tried to take the One Ring away from Frodo. While he was in Rivendell, Boromir went and saw the Shards of Narsil (which briefly appeared on The Rings of Power). While doing so, he cut himself on the blade. He passed it off, wondering how it was still sharp, but there might be a secret implication behind that scene. Sauron had been cut by that very sword, so it's possible that some of the Dark Lord's blood or magic could have had a residual effect on the blade. Thus, when Boromir was cut, some of the Dark Lord's influence could have taken hold of him. When combined with his mannish desire for power, the blood on the sword theory perfectly explains why Boromir went from a worthy protector to a potential thief in a matter of seconds.
