He has kept an address book of all the people he made friends with on all the tours he's been on, so we hear from him at least once a year. Quite a hobby! I'm probably too late sending my address, but I'll try. I went on a trip once with a man who travels on tours 2 or 3 times a year and sends 100 postcards each time.

Too bad you can only send to people in the States. Oh, well, maybe another time. I love postcards as well. Too bad you can only send to people in the States. Oh, well, maybe another time.

The time I save looking up addresses and printing them on the cards is used to write a line or two to personalize the greeting. You can't believe how many people say that's the first "real mail" they've received in who knows how long. Before each trip, I print mailing labels to use on postcards while I’m traveling.

My husband's grandmother did not have a camera for her travels in the 1950s and '60s, so she collected postcards in scrapbooks. They are so lovely to look at.
