I was traveling from Washington, D.C. to Rio de Janeiro Brazil and had to change planes at JFK Airport in New York. I had a business meeting the moment I landed so I was dressed very professionally in a business skirt suit. I had my luggage with me because I was changing from a domestic flight to an international flight and had to transfer my own bags. As I stood at the ticket counter, I looked beside me and Robert DeNiro was checking in on the flight. At that moment, Mr. DeNiro turned and looked at me and smiled. Did I mention I'm a HUGE fan of Mr. DeNiro's? Well, when he laid that beautiful, sexy smile on me, I was so smitten that I took a step backward and bumped into my large suitcase. The force of the bump literally knocked me off my feet. I fell backwards over my suitcase, heels thrown like ninja knives in different directions and legs flying akimbo giving Mr. DeNiro a bird's eye view of my unmentionables. I was horrified. I lay on the airport floor, spread eagle, praying that death would come swiftly. I opened my eyes to find Mr. DeNiro standing over me, wicked grin on his face, offering his assistance. Funny thing he didn't seem to mind at all!

On the return trip, the world famous soccer player, Pele, was on my flight. I seemed destined to make celebrity contact on that trip. Fortunately, no mishaps with my luggage occurred. Today, I proudly display a picture of Mr. DeNiro and me, post collision, and a picture of Pele and me, on my mantle as a reminder of that trip.
