After informing the employee of Delta Air Lines of the commitments for postcards from Hawaii, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, England, Australia and the Netherlands, with possible postcards from Argentina, I received an e-mail message from him this morning that he couldnt be any happier.
Thank you, everyone!
Correct the postcard is what counts, not the stamp...
...although I would not be the least bit surprised if the stamps cause some sort of buzz in the classroom almost like a side scavenger hunt of curiosity: Cool postcard! Where is that stamp from?!?

If they don't have one from PA yet, I'll add one from there towards the states, and possibly MD. I'll also see if Mr. Kipper has any post cards from any of his overseas trips that I can pilfer.

For those of us who can easily obtain prints of their travel photos, a 4 x 6-inch color print makes a nice postcard. I send them to my dad all the time with a "wish you were here" message and the location where I took the shot. FTers have pix from everywhere.

I will send one from Thailand and one from Vietnam. Until when do we have? Also, there are some great apps which allow you to send postcards made from photos on your phone, so if you were in an exotic location and you took a photo of something on your phone, see if you can download the app and send it straight from there. You pay with your card and they even go to the post office for you... 
EDIT: Postcards sent! Hope they get there safely.

On the postcards I've sent so far, I'm also including information about the area for Wyatt--why I'm there, what I'm doing, some background information on the place that a grade school student might like to know about. I'm also signing them Pat (FT) in case they are interested in knowing how many came through FT.

I left my postcards blank. I think that anything that I told elementary school students about myself could get me arrested for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Ok, Amsterdam postcard bought, addressed & some info on the city written. Now to find a stamp. Place selling them only had stamps for Europe, not US.
Cheers.
Cheers.
