Vacation RR - Germany


The second largest Jewish cemetery in Europe - It was dedicated in 1880 and located in Berlin. Thank you so much for making my day with this card!

Vacation RR - England


What I really like about this card, besides the almost heaven-like quietness and piece - is the cancellation on the back!

Yay! Princess has arrived!

Vacation RR - Hamburg

Amazing view from famous St. Michael's church in Hamburg :)

Buda and Pest - reflecting on my visit last year

During our European tour last year, we had amazing 3 day in Budapest, Hungary. If you ignore language challenges - it was a great place to visit. One day was spent touring all Jewish themed sites and of course the synagogue! The largest in the the eastern part of the Europe.  When I received this card via postcrossing forum - thanks to the RR-Vacation :) my favorite - I was so pleased!!

Active - Inactive

Hello there..... very recently I got back to postcard exchange. And would like to update here as well.  Due to lot of life-activities in the last 18 months (agh!) i have been very inactive with my postcards.

Not that life get slower or less busy, but I'm back. Very limited, but nevertheless back to sending and receiving cards. I'll be away for much needed vacation for next 4 weeks, but hopefully will bring back lot of beautiful postcards.

Vacation RR - Duplicate

I love absolutely "I'm going on vacation RR" in postcrossing forum.  I'm one of the 20 top users and was able to host 11 groups.  Amazing concept to receive cards from different places where people go on vacation.  And by hosting a group you offer to send cards from your vacation, and in return you can ask anything, or almost anything. Some users very strict on what they want in return, I always thought that by just asking country/city single view in return is fair enough and should be easy to follow. However my last vacation where I sent 10 postcards from Las Vegas brought me 2 duplicate cards... from people who were in my other vacation group about a year ago.   Needless to say I'm little disappointed and now that got me thinking... may be I need to be more specific... may be I need to make people check my received cards? 
Any thoughts?

received:  February 2013
