postcard wishlist: florida map card

postcards, map cards, Florida

I would love to build up my collection of map cards this year + one of the many postcard that I would love to receive in the mail is this Florida map card. Imagine including Mickey Mouse in it, I just have to have one of these! 🙂

Mickey Mouse is one of my son’s ultimate favorites + I made a vow to bring him to Disney Land {in Hongkong} when he turns 7. I do not know how I’d manage to do that, with me being jobless + all, but I promise I will. If I can afford it, I would probably bring him to Disney Euro or The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. I bet he will have loads of fun staying at the Disney Hotel or any one of those plush yet affordable  Orlando Hotels + having his photographs taken with the world-famous mouse + the other well-loved Disney characters around. Oh well, that is probably wishful thinking, but who knows, I might win the lottery one day + afford to bring the little man to any destination he chooses by then 🙂

With the Disney Resort + other amusement parks, not to mention the numerous beaches, I bet one will never run out of fun things to do in Florida. Anyway, did you know that Florida was originally baptized as La Florida or The Flowery Land +  Tallahassee is the state capital. Aside from that, did you also know that it is the fourth most populous state + has the longest coastline in the U.S? You can check out this Facebook for more interesting trivia about Florida, meanwhile, let me just brood on how I’d manage to save enough to bring my little man there when the time comes. +, oh, do contact me in case you want to trade this card with me, right? 🙂

mail day friday 01.27

postcrossing, personal swap

It has been a few weeks since I last visited the Post Office + I’m glad my sister agreed to mail my postcards last Friday, just so I won’t be too late in sending them out. Sorry for the delay, swap friends, I meant to send these postcards on time, but I was either too busy to go down the PO or have lost track of my swapping that I would just recall some of them at a much later time. But rest assured that I send all the postcards, albeit late, whenever I tell you that I did.

postcrossing, personal swap

Meanwhile, I am cooking up something that should pique your interest to usher in the water dragon, along with all the luck, of course, the Chinese New Year Giveaway, which should be up later on tonight.
