"Snail Mail..."

When mail get sent to the ship from the USA, it often will take 2-3 weeks even up to a month depending upon when the IOC (International Operations Center) receives mail in Texas and then sends it onto the ship. 

It was really exciting the other day when we received a bunch of our Christmas cards...in the middle of January!

It is always nice to be able to catch up with people via Facebook, email, or sometimes on the phone...but there is nothing as wonderful as receiving a note, cards, letters, or even pictures in the mail. 

Thank you everyone for the Christmas and New Year greetings!
