. All the time I have guests that have stayed with us writing me an email and asking if we HAD sent their postcards...due to the lousy postal system. Its good to reassure them that with the next season, they will be receiving them....better late than never.

I reccomend the "message in a bottle " technique. Much faster and reliable.

Write your postcards while enjoying a margarita on the beach, then bring them back to the states (or where ever) and mail them.

A few years back, I sent a christmas card to Squish in Canada.
She emailed me a few weeks later and said it was miss sent to Bangkok Thailand!
She even showed me the envelope when we met up again in Playa.
So,so much for the US postal system, and I used to work them.

In March, I mailed a post card from Playa, and it arrived in Chicago in 3 weeks. With everything I had heard about the Postal System there, I was pleasantly surprised!
