So, this morning we were all supposed to meed downstairs in our hotel at 8am. So lst night I re-packed, organized, laid out my clothes and was basically ready to just get up, shower and get on the road. Well, when I went to bed, I somehow DID NOT set an alarm!(but I didn't know this at the time)
So this morning at 7am I awoke to blasting sirens and a weird robotic voice saying: AN EMERGENCY SITUATION HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE BUILDING. PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY. And it played over and over and over and over again and all the guests filed out of the building down onto the streets. So after standing about and watching the fire dept. come, we were told the coast was clear and we could go back in. Well it was at that point that I realized that I hadn't set an alarm and I just told myself that the fire alarm was just God's way of making sure the EVERYONE got up on time to make it to the bus! I kinda picture him up there saying, "Wait a minute, I got you this far, you better not miss this bus child!" haha I told some of my friends that and one of them was like "Wow....I'm amazed...you really can find the silver lining in ANY situation can't you?" And I guess I never really thought about it but maybe he's right....
Well anyways, I just wanted to share that story of how my last morning in USA started with a pretty rude awakening but hopefully that isn't an omen of how the rest of the trip will go.
