Still missing one coming to me, but I’m writing it off now. I’m checking out of this thread, but If the MIA card shows up, I’ll post.

Otherwise, see you next time. It’s been fun, d00ds and d00dettes.

I just received my third card this round. Thank you **Skara\_Brae**.  
I can hardly wait until August for the next round.

I have re-sent my 3rd one since it obviously hasn’t arrived at it’s intended destination. I posted all three cards at the same time, from the same place, and two of them got to where they were supposed to, one has gone missing. So the replacement is now winging it’s way across the pond!

Okay… I’ve received two more postcards some time ago, but because the house is in a complete disarray (things have been crazy out here, in a good way), can’t find them… But let it be known that they’re really appreciated, and they were, indeed, sent!!!

Aaaaaand, you won’t believe it, but the Italian and Israeli Postal Services have collaborated to deliver Butterscotch’s postcard to me **3 months** after being sent… :smack:

I’m considering this as a Christmas card 🙂

What? Zombie Thread?! Hey, it’s still 2010, innit…?

I just saw this thread for the first time. I did a quick google search, but I’m not wading through 10 pages to see if it’s been mentioned yet or not, but there’s a website that does this now (if you’re interested in postcards from around the world, and not just from dopers, that is).
