Postcard from Floridafour

This will be a different postcard than whatever I send for the vacation postcards. I will also put a hand carved on site, stamp on it. I'm doing it as a gift, no exchange needed, so I don't have the added pressure of hosting a swap. Hehe. And also just for fun, as a challenge to try to send postcards from Asia. I've never done that before, I always just bring them home. Then I don't mail them! I have never bought postage in Asia, so I'm a bit nervous about finding a post office or a place to by stamps, but I am up for a challenge.

First 15 spots only, please!

Fingers crossed that you have better luck with mailing in Phillipines/Singapore than I did in India.

Bought the postcards and international postage from the gift shop at the nice hotel we stayed at. Addressed about a dozen of them. Added the postage. Gave them to the front desk and asked that they be put in the international outgoing mail -- in perfect English, he replied "no problem" and appeared to place them in some sort of mail bin.

2+ years later and not a single one made it. :( Guess I'll have to try again.

LOL, my mom went to school in Paris for a semester in college, and she said when she tried to speak French, they all just told her to speak English.

When I was in Paris, I got into a cab and asked him to take me to the Eiffel Tower. He had no idea what I was saying. I got out and found another cab.

When I was in Cozumel, my husband asked the cab driver to take us to the museum. He took us to the mission. LOL! It was then I said, "¡el museo!"

I know just enough Spanish to confuse Mexican folks here into thinking I know Spanish. Apparently I have great pronunciation. So then I always end up have to say "Lo siento, no hablo español."
They laugh or go What!? Or just pretend I'm lying and keep talking to me. Man! I gotta learn Spanish!!!!

Do they have postcard sleeves?

Yes, they do make 3-ring binder pages for postcards. I don't put mine in binders, but I do buy the individual sleeves. I have purchased from this site before, and their customer service is good, but then I found I could get better prices by buying on eBay.

Dern. All they had at Hobby Lobby were sleeves that had pockets that refer 4.25 x 5.25. Looked right. Half off. They are perfect for old Kodachromes. But not new cards :/
What are post card makers these days thinking?!?!
