Travel in the Digital Age
SUBMITTED by Vicky Daly, Village of Palmyra (23-Aug-2010)
Conversation with the Mayor
A number of years ago we stopped sending postcards to family and friends. Two discoveries prompted this decision: the discovery that post cards from tropical isles arrived six weeks after our return, if at all, and that the cost of post cards in Canada was astronomical before the addition of a tax. They actually add tax to the cost of stamps which are, in reality, a tax themselves. So, anyway, the Dalys don’t send postcards, so please do not be offended if you expected to receive one from our recent vacation and did not. That is until this year – and then they were digital. The ability to do this was a delightful surprise. Here is it how it happened.
