Where is the world is....our mail?

Where does it actually go?...I mean, we just received a Christmas card today (Feb 22)....where did our Christmas card get to travel to on route to our home here on St. Barths?

We have learned that our mail gets to travel to exotic & far-away places that we can only dream of visiting one day.

Our Christmas card that arrived today came stamped with a message on the front of the envelope to us that read, "Missent to Jamaica."   What sights do you think our Christmas card got to experience in Jamaica?  Did our card get to experience some of the Jamaican cuisine that our family loves?  Think about it, maybe the mailman in Jamaica had just eaten some Jerk Chicken and his greasy fingers smudged our card...did not our card get to "taste" it?...Maybe a taste of Jamaican Patties or Pidgeon Peas & Rice.

Our other mail have taken trips from places in India (did I smell a hint of curry on this letter?) to Australia.  One piece of mail even took 1 year to get here!...I can only imagine what far-away places & foreign foods that letter got to experience!
