god! i must be traveling with the wrong pack! too busy veiwing the awesome sights to look at the people around me except for the loved ones i'm traveling with.

I've seen celebrities on my travels on two occassions. However it was here in the U.S. not in Europe. <BR> <BR>The first was Oprah, if I remember correctly it was 1995 at the Orlando, Fla. airport. She had a whole studio audience with her. I believe she had taken them to Disneyworld. There was tons of photographers, and cameras, and reporters from all media around Oprah. It looked like a circus. The event was being filmed for her show. <BR> <BR>The second "celebrity sighting" occurred at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. in February 2000. I had gone down the escalators to the gift shop when I saw some people running, whispering, and pointing towards the registers. There in front of me about 30 feet or so, was Meg Ryan, Dennis Quaid, a boy, and a girl in her early twenties (maybe the nanny?). I quickly pulled out my camera, turned off the flash, and hid behind a display case and took two pics without them seeing me. I know, I know, that was a little crazy, and I would never think I'd do this again, but the instinct to do so hit me without warning! Anyway, I went up the escalators to tell my friends, but before I was able to I saw them coming. They walked right in front of us. My friend asked for an autograph from Meg Ryan, but before she could answer, Dennis Quaid gave him a big flat "NO" and waved him aside. Meg did not even bother to look at us. We saw them walk away, and thought it strange that they walked about fifteen feet apart from each other with Dennis in front. About a month later it came out in the media that they had separated. By the way, Meg is very thin and tall. She was wearing jeans, leather jacket, dark shades, and as per usual her hair was all messed up.

What a lovely answer! Wishing you and your Susan another 42 years!

To Everyone: <BR> <BR>Who cares what movie celebrity you saw, they are all "low lifes" anyway.

<BR>I saw Fatty Arbuckle drinking straight out of a coke bottle in Biarritz <BR>I saw Evelyn Venable holding a torch in MOrocco <BR>I saw Fay Wray in tattered clothes at the Empire State building <BR>I saw Jeanette MacDnald and Gene Raymond at the Hotel Amstel in Amsterdam <BR>I saw Greta Garbo crossing a street in Paris with me <BR> <BR>Mel

The last time we were in Amsterdam, I saw Keith Richards walking down the street, we were having lunch, at a Chinese place, at the time. He looks just as bad, in person, as on film.
