a personal connection to the tsunami
We just got home from being away and unable to look up any information on the tsunami. Well, when I looked at the map, I nearly got sick: our favorite island, our paradise, was right directly in the path.
It lies perfectly between the area that got hit bad (Phuket) and the area that got hit least (Myanmar), so we haven't the slightest idea how all our friends are doing, or whether they're even alive, or whether their little set of bungalows survived or are reparable, or whether the whole thing missed them. There's another large island right in the path between them and the wave, so it might have protected them, but we don't know. We're waiting till it's a decent time to call, so we can try to reach one of our favorite hostesses, the incomparable Moon. We're praying not only that she's OK, but that she's reachable, so we'll be OK.
