YorkshireI've just virtually visited Susan in the Argarve, which was a much needed visit to the beach as outside my window it is raining heavily! Will put my postcards up on my pinboard, pretend I am there and ignore the weather outside 
So glad you are all enjoying your cards as much as I am. This was such a great idea 
YorkshireIt's still raining here - yep June in the UK! But I have my wall of postcards to look at and I received another one today!
Thank you Pat for your lovely card from Seaside Park, New Jersey, what a lovely place to escape to! 
Boechout, AntwerpThe New Jersey beaches are looking very attractive, Pat, and so is the sunshine. :dance:
Thank you for the lovely "New Jersey Lighthouses" postcard ! 
Hugs, :hug:
Peter & the bears
UX'BEARiesMy first passion (besides collecting teddy bears) is travelling ... especially when you can visit teddy bear shows and shops. Now I am travelling without leaving my home. Visit to Portugal (thank you Susan); Dallas (thank you Sue Ann); New Jersey (thank you Pat) and finally Point Pelee National Park (thank you Jeremy).
Cannot wait until the postman delivers tomorrow's mail!!!
Hugs
Jill

Past Time BearsWow, I really saw many lovely places yesterday. I started with Pat in New Jersey, then went across the pond to see Alison in York Minster, down to visit Susan in Portugal, over to the opposite side of the planet and under to the southern hemisphere where I saw Helen in New Zealand, then took a little hop over to visit with Lyn in Australia. Truly a whirlwind trip to some beautiful places. Thanks for the tours, ladies.
The Littlest ThistleWell I got a lovely tour of north America today, starting in Southern Ontario, then on to the Jersey shore, and finally down to Texas, thank you to Jeremy, Pat and Sue Ann. Mine are winging their way around the world at the moment.
Newelley.BearsOMG Peter,
Did I seriously write Loon? LMAO...I don't know what I was thinking. I take pics of geese all of the time! I guess I was just feeling a little "loony" that day! It had been a long week afterall...LOL
:dance: Oh boy! What a whirl wind of a trip I've had starting with Peter in Belgium then off again to Gail in Long Beach America and before I can catch my breath I'm off again to Pat in New Jersey, America! A quick chat before I am whizzed off to Jill in Toronto, Canada and for my last stop it was over to Ali in Yorkshire, UK.
So a very big thank you from me to you all
Hugs Lyn :hug:
Just when I thought my journey had ended I was up and running again to Jeremy in Ontario - thank you Those butterflies are amazing - seen it before on some nature programme on the TV.
Hugs Lyn :hug:

I have now been to Ontario also, thanx Jeremy. I have brought all my vacation cards to work and tacked them up on the door behind my desk so that everyone can enjoy my vacation along with me.
Thanx to all for the great cards and maybe someday I will really get to all these places, but for now I can enjoy the wishing and the cards.
thanx again

YorkshireI've been off around the world again,
first stop to visit Jeremy and the bears in Harrow, Canada after a quick spin around the ferris wheel I crossed the border and went South,
I said a big Hiya folks to SueAnn in Texas, wow I didn't know that the Indian word for Texas meant friend, how very appropriate for you SueAnn. Then I flew over the water and visited
Helen, in Gisborne, New Zealand. I have always wanted to visit New Zealand. Thank you Helen for going into so much detail. I have just finished a history project with my older daughter and we chose New Zealand, so your comment on Captain Cook was very interesting to us. Also yes we do like the odd tipple of NZ wine, it always receives high recommendations on television food shows.
Then I went home via Scotland and visited Katy. I haven't been to Glasgow yet, but my husband and older daughter visited there last year and said it was "a really cool city". Next time we visit Scotland we must visit the Kelvingrove Museum, what a wacky place it is and in such a lovely building (also noted only red cars are allowed to park outside of the museum - five in total! )
Thank you so much, this has been really fun and very educational for my kids!
Past Time BearsThanks, Jeremy, for the fun map of Canada!
Oh how wonderful - just when I thought that's it I've received some more lovely cards, thanks to Vill - Toronto must be magnific, what a lovely few I've got from York in GreatBritain - thank you Ali and of course the flowers in Texas must smell so wonderful, thank you Sue Ann
Plum Cottage BearsI've been "traveling" again! I went to York, UK, with Ali Perrin. I've been to Point Pelee National Park in Canada with Jeremy Newell, and to Toronto with Jill Sword. And returning to the US, I've been to Texas with Sue Ann Holcomb and the Jersey Shore with Pat Hage. Thanks for all the virtual visits. It's fun getting the mail these days!
Boechout, AntwerpI have just been to TEXAS as well ! Thank you Sue Ann for the postcard with the teddy bear stamp and the invitation.
Then I flew straight back to the UK and visited Katy in Glasgow. Next time I'm in Scotland, I will definitely have to pay a visit to Glasgow.
Thank you both for the great postcards.
Hugs, :hug:

UX'BEARiesI have just completed a 'round-the-world' trip. Always wanted to do, now I have.
Enjoyed visiting Sandra in New Zealand; then onto York to visit Ali; Stopping in New Jersey to visit Pat; then onto visit Sue Ann in Dallas; and finally stopping off in Point Pelee before home to Toronto.
A whirlwind trip with lots of jet lag. However, that is what is so 'fun' about travelling.
Thanks everyone for making my 'round-the-world' trip a once in a lifetime trip.
Hugs
Jill
Plum Cottage BearsOn a day when I could really use a lift, here comes a card from Katy, of the Littlest Thistle, Glasgow. The card took me on a scenic river ride on the paddle steamer Waverley, up the Clyde River to the Finnieston Science Centre. At one point the steamer passed under a huge crane, one of the few remaining traces of Glasgow's once busy shipbuilding works. I was especially interested in the river trip in Glasgow because the Queen Mary ship, now permanently docked in Long Beach, California, was built in Glasgow. Thank you for the trip, Katy!
Plum Cottage BearsToday, on a day when I really needed a break, I found my virtual plane landing in New Zealand! Helen Jamieson (Sandra) took me on a detailed tour of Gisborne, the first city in the world to see the morning sun every day. Thank you for the tour! I am enjoying my worldwide travels via virtual postcard swap!
Past Time BearsI also got a card from Katy in Glasgow . . . really interesting!
