<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

My girlfriend of a year and a half is competing in Miss USA this July. Coming from a very modest background, pageants are a completely different world that have taken some time getting adjusted to.

My girlfriend wants me to travel to Louisiana to watch her compete, but It would cost about 1700 for my mom and I both to travel there. Also, it conflicts with a trip to Europe I was planning with little sister.

It's something that's very important to her, but on paper doesn't make much rational sense because I won't get to see her in person at the pageant, I can stream it online while I'm in Europe, and the pageant in general stressed me out because if she wins, she'll be whisked away to live as a minor celebrity in NY for a year.

My family is upper middle class, so the money isn't impossible, but it's impactful.
<bot>: My gf's in Miss USA, biggest day of her life, very expensive for me to travel there and not see her.*
