Postcards from the Southern Ocean

The long awaited postcards from our Antarctica trip have finally all arrived.  For those of you who enjoy reminiscing our non-digital way of life from 30 years ago, if you ever go to explore the southern ocean, make sure that you stop by the 3 most famous post offices at the bottom of the world.  AND, of course, make sure that you bring the mailing addresses... 

I remember being soooo well prepared for everything for the trip, except that... I did not write down Michelle's mailing address in Boston.  While spending 22 days in the southern ocean without cell connections, at each post office, I carefully wrote messages on a postcard to Michelle and mailed it to her childhood home in Naperville -:))

Picture 1 = Postcard from Folkland Island.  Mailed out on 1/31/18, and arrived on 2/17/18.  Traveled 18 days.

Picture 2 =  Postcard from South Georgia.  Mailed out on 2/4/18, and arrived on 3/29/18.  Traveled 54 days.

Picture 3 = Postcard from Antarctica.  Mailed out on 2/13/18, and arrived on 4/13/18.  Traveled 59 days.
