The reason we left Laos in the first place was because of a sequence of events. First off, Saigon fell in April, 1975. Then, everyone in Laos knew that Laos would go next, so everyone left. We didn’t start to leave until a few days after everyone elae left because we were waiting for the time the government told us to leave. We left early anjrway because things were getting really hot. We would have been evacuated in a few days but we left anyway. Someone had shot all four of our tires an our car and they were all flat. We had to leave Laos now, so we got new tires and had to leave Laos on a truck ferry because we missed the car ferry. We crossed the river for the last time. We landed in Thailand, and drove up to the Siam Intercontinental Hotel where we stayed there for about two weeks when we saw some of our best friends far the last time.
