1,2,3 “Say Cheese!”… - By: GGadmin

Have you ever run into a celebrity, athlete or someone in the “public eye” while on vacation?

1,2.3 “Say Cheese!”….

The times I have read about, seen in news items or have witnessed for myself a celebrity being hounded by a pack of paparazzi, has become so frequent these days that I don’t even take notice anymore. Today’s unfortunate soul was Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid). “The Price of fame?” I thought as I watched Ralph dodging the paparazzi. What would it be like living in a world where even in a moment of solace you are constantly having your space intruded?
While standing there in the line to board a flight to New York, my thoughts were taken back to around 5 years ago when I was in Miami for a wedding, (that I didn’t want to be a part of.) Friday night’s rehearsal was a mess and I just wanted to get away from everybody. The next day I woke up early and headed to the golf course hoping to be the first guy out. As I’m on the tee box getting ready to swing, the starter gets on the intercom and says “Mr. Zuleta, we have a 2-some joining you”, I just about lost my mind. I was happy about playing alone and having a quick round; my only hope was that the 2-some were descent golfers. I heard the golf cart turn the corner and park right behind mine, I turned around to introduce myself and there he was, “The Donald”, Donald Trump and his son. I spent the next 4 hours helping them look for their golf balls. He offered to buy me lunch after our round and of course I accepted, ordering the most expensive thing on the menu…

The question I pose to you today is. Have you ever run into a celebrity, athlete or someone in the “public eye” while on vacation? Or worse have you ever been mistaken as a celebrity and the 1,2,3 “Say Cheese!” pack of paparazzi hunted you down…
