Distance record.

I hunted down (well, googled it) a distance calculator and decided to work out the km of other received mail. With penpals, I don't know that my mail has arrived until I receive a reply, but I know which items have been received on swap bot so I'm going to do some adding :)

Letter to Muriah in Markham - 5687 km
Swap Bot postie to Alabama - 6867 km
Swap Bot postie to Pennsylvania - 5688 km
Swap Bot ransom note to Utah - 7849 km
Swap Bot card to South Carolina - 6512 km
Swap Bot postie to Australia - 16896 km
Post crossing postcard to The Netherlands - 474 km
Post crossing postcard to Germany - 818 km
Post crossing postcard to Michigan - 6016 km

Along with the other two already documented that means my post has travelled a total of 67,149 km :)

Arrived!

My DIY Taro Gomi postcrossing card arrived in the USA sometime between yesterday and today, which means my km count is slowly but surely going up.

My question is, how will I track the personal post, or swap bot posts?? Does anyone know of a program online or website or something on google earth I can use to track the distance of my personal mail?

Anyhoo, the little one travelled 7,926km to it's destination on the west coast. Bless :)

EDIT: My card to the Netherlands arrived today :D so I'm adding some more km's to my total :D

This one travelled 474 to get to it's destination.

That's a total of 10,342km so far. YAY!

Another first!

I just got an email to say that my postcrossing postcard to Finland has arrived safely!! YAY!

You see, this is all new to me, so I'm super excited that it got there ok and I'm hoping that my other postcards will start arriving soon... I worry about the little blighters getting lost :(

But yay for orange postie with pink flower. It's travelled 1,942 km.
