Hard to believe it will have been 10 years on Friday.

yeah. I was in Thailand on one of the beaches that was flooded almost exactly one year before.
Was also in Bali going steadily to the disco that was bombed 8 month before it happened.
Was really a weird feeling on both occasions.

Just leave us notice of all the places you were six months to a year ago so we can avoid them.

On a more serious note, I, too, can't believe it has been ten years. What an awful tragedy.
