What if you want to go see Rome and you have $15 in your bank account?

You can freely try. Or you can freely choose to make more money and then try.

What if you are really hungry and you don't have any money at all? I'm sure someone will give you something to eat, but you're sure not going to be free to choose what you want to eat.

[/ QUOTE ]

You freely choose whether to eat what someone gives you, you can always go for more, you can try to steal food if you want, etc.

Obviously there are certain limitations, including circumstance (examples you listed) and ability (ie I cannot fly) but that doesn't mean you aren't free; you are always free to choose your action. This is what freedom is.
