Safe and sound

Sorry for not writing to everyone sooner. Eden and I are safe. We were never anywhere near the tsunami affected zones and where too far away to feel the initial earthquake. We're sorry to have left some of you wondering of our whereabouts and condition.

We do have several friends from Japan traveling in the region this winter so we have been quite worried ourselves, but it appears all of them are safe. Our hearts do go out to the families and survivors of the ordeal. As it turns out, we were on Patong beach in Phuket at that same time exactly a year prior. Then we were on the Phi Phi islands for the following few days. It's quite eerie thinking about it as we also spent some time diving, and I don't think there were any survivors amongst the divers.

Yes, this comment is a little late, but I thought I'd mention that some divers survived. I saw a few minutes of a Discovery Channel biography regarding a group of divers, many of witch were deaf, who were swept around but survived the horrific ordeal.
