The day has finally come--the last day of our trip. After an uneventful and relaxing few days in Phuket (Southern Thailand) sitting on the beach reading and relaxing, we had our scariest experience yet. Two hours before our planned departure, a siren began to sound followed by a loud announcement of, "WARNING: THERE IS A TSUNAMI. PLEASE EVACUATE THE BEACH IMMEDIATELY AND HEAD TO HIGHER GROUND." As the sirens continued, we got the impression this was not a test. We started trotting to our room (Seth had a sound lead, Castanza-style) to grab our passports and camera. Our neighbors were sitting there watching us frantically scramble back to the hotel and began to laugh at us, informing us that it was, indeed, a test. Apparently we (and half of the pool crowd) missed the multiple public service announcements that had been made throughout the week.
A scary experience, but it definitely made us realize that it is time to go home. We fly to Bangkok today and back to Detroit first thing tomorrow. See you all soon!
