I've been reading the Lonely Planet's '10 Best Things to do in 2011' amongst the many other list of different things that they have to do on their site.

I particularly liked number 10...
10. Write a postcard
E-books, mobile phone apps, augmented reality – we live and travel in a world of instant information and sore thumbs. This year is a good time to pause and revisit that ol’ travel chestnut: the postcard. What started a century ago as a craze of keepsakes (recipients cherished them as much as travellers sending them cherished their actual experiences) has lost out to wi-fi , text messaging and Flickr images. A shame. Sending a postcard leads to all sorts of local life commonly missed – stationery shops, post offices, funny stamps – as well as the art of actually writing with a pen.
So I will endeavour to do this for as many people that want them... message me addresses please x
