Postcards to Paradise Update

WOW, what a response! So far I have 30 people sending cards to help me with my Mexican Postal Service Experiment!

I’ve sent addresses to everyone who’ve indicated they want to participate, so if you haven’t received a mail from me, check your junk mail folder. Also, if you are on AOL and don’t get anything, be sure to add my email address to your contacts and let me know to resend; AOL is notorious for rejecting mails from email addresses it doesn’t recognize and not letting either the sender or intended recipient know.

Man, I wish I had a scanner so I could scan in all the cards to show you…this is so exciting! Maybe I’ll visit an internet shop in town and have them scan all the cards in for me.

Thanks, people! I have the best readers in the world.

  1. I am totally impressed by this. I wonder if your mail carrier will get burnt out and stop delivering your mail? You should have some sent to general delivery too. That means that you have to go to the post office and check but it would be a good control, you can see if they all get through to all the different locations. Pretty cool.

  2. Should I try and send you one from El Ejido? It would probably be the last one to arrive. LOL!

  3. yeah, send me the address and I’ll send one from about 20miles down the road to see if it gets there last or not. We do have a little post office here in Akumal. I know where it used to be, it’s not there now but ‘they’ say it is still here somewhere, I’ll find it. It’s also only open a few hours on some days, what a challenge.

  4. Did mine get there yet?

  5. I mailed mine this morning. BTW I must have deleted your 1st e-mail.When I saw your last name I realized it. A while back when Phil of Isla Build died someone posted a beautiful message on his board from a site called Simple Truths. Now I get an inspirational something from Mac Anderson every day. I don’t get to read everything and I thought his wife was now mailing me too. LOL

  6. a friend mailed a letter from playa to playacar once and it took two weeks to be delivered!

  7. Got it, have the card addressed and it will go in the mail minana!! Can’t wait to hear how long it takes, if ever, to get to you.

  8. Heather can you email it to me too? See how long it takes to get there from Canada!

  9. Is it too late, or can I play too?

  10. How about now? Did it get there by now? Come ON, I mailed it on Tuesday….

  11. Holy Cow charmarie, you’re worse than a kid on the way to Grandma’s house for Christmas *laugh*

    I have not sent one yet, but I will

  12. A bit slow but willing to test Belize to Mexico post if you like.

  13. I have not sent one yet, I am so ashamed of myself :)
