AITA for being upset about not being invited to the family Europe trip, again?

So, for the third year in a row, my girlfriend and almost all the women in her family are going to Europe. They usually do a big loop around a bunch of different countries, but this year I think they’re just touring around Italy. They are always gone for about 3 weeks. And for the third year in a row, I have not been invited. For some context, my gf(22F) and I(23F) have been dating for 2 1/2 years now and I consider myself to be pretty close to her family. We’ve gone on several family trips together and they have always gone fairly well. No fights or drama or that sort of thing. I have never been to Europe but have always wanted to. I love to travel and my family didn’t do much of that, if any, during my childhood except to visit family. Now, I was jealous of the Europe trips before but understood that it was a big trip to invite someone who’s only been around the family for a few months or even a year, but this is the third one and am I wrong to expect an invite eventually? A bit off topic but it adds to why I’m a bit upset, my parents got divorced right as we started dating and both quickly remarried. Both marriages brought step-children. My mom has 2 very young step-children and my dad has one who’s older than me. They have both taken the step-children on many vacations now without so much as a “you can come if you want” for my sister or I. On top of that, my sister also went to Europe during my gf’s first trip as a grad present. A trip of choice that I was also supposed to get, but I graduated during covid so I got a $100 amazon gift card instead. A lot of this has just built up I guess and i’m feeling really hurt by the lack of invite. My gf and I have gotten into some small tiffs over it. And she understands why I’m upset but doesn’t like when I bring it up at all. She has promised we will go on our own trip one day, but as 2 broke college kids, i’m not sure that’s happening anytime soon. AITA here? Or do I have a right to be upset?
