Hell Is A Sham?

[antiquitys]

We were in Hell, Grand Cayman on January 26,2012. The locals all tell you to mail postcards from the post office in Hell to get the postmark. We did that but now 19 days later no one has received their postcard. Do they really mail the cards or just throw them away after bilking the tourists?

[bookbabe]

The post office there is as real as the post office in your home town. :rolleyes:

 

Remember that it's another country, and an island one at that. Postcards to the US or Canada can often take three weeks or longer to arrive, in my experience.

I sent my uncle in Washington State a postcard from Nicaragua last year, arrived 38 days after I dropped it in the mail box:)

When you go to Hell, don't expect all the speed and conveniences that you have in America. :D

We went on a cruise for two weeks and the postcards that we mailed to ourselves and to my father-in-law all arrived before we got home! I'm sure they will arrive in time, it is not a sham, don't worry!

Last March I mailed a post card to my son from the Vatican, and it still hasn't arrived! :rolleyes: It's not just islands!

I guess that's pretty close to the opposite of mailing one from Hell?:);)

While it's not "Scenic", nor I think indeeded to be, on a hot humid summer day it'll come as close to the "real thing" as you'll ever want to be.

 

Postcards from Hell are a hit with families and friends (and your local pastor/priest:p).

That started my morning out with a good laugh.

 

So many people have told me to go to Hell that I will have to visit so I won't disappoint them. :D

[SardisGrandma]

It takes a very long time to receive the postcard.

[antiquitys]

Thanks for all the responces. 3 weeks today. I'll keep waiting.

We were there on Feb 2nd, 2012..I mailed a card to my mother in WA state and she received it on Tues, the 14th. So they DO mail them..maybe we hit the weekly mail boat just right!:):)

We were at hell March 2011 and let me tell you about the little gift shop next/close to the post office. The Women that ran the that gift shop were the nicest people we ever ran into at any port. Extremely helpful! Our son wanted a Cayman dollar so she GAVE him one. They were very genuine.

 

The Postmaster - typical goverment employee - Rude couldn't care less that thousands of tourist arrive on her island every week to spend their money. "No picture taking inside the Post Office" - Without a please. What a biatch. What a completely different experience only about 50 ft apart.

 

We are back at the Cayman's again this year and plan to Hit Hell again to to visit those very nice ladies at the gift shop.

 

Regards,

Thanks to everyone that responded. My postcards from Hell have finally arrived.

I worry a little about the post card taking such a long time. I don't mean to be too morbid, but what if something happens too you before they come. After the funeral services, your family gets a postcard from you saying something like "Hi, I'm in Hell. Wish you were here!":eek::eek::D

Now that is hilarious!

 

For me, the visit to Hell was a must do and I may even go back this year and have them stamp my real passport for the fun of it. LOL

 

Back to OP, I mailed about 20 postcards (yes, I was a first time cruiser!) from Hell to IL and it took about two months for them to arrive.

Hell is what it is.;)

We mailed some letters and cards from Hell last year and they all arrived, however the postage we bought aboard the ship was not adequate and the postmistress of Hell noticed it and sold us the extra we needed.... yes it is a real government post office.

Now thats funny!:)

If you want to collect Hell postmarks, by all means come to Hell, Michigan. It really does freeze over (just not this year).

[lady_mac]

I mailed postcards from Hell on Valentine's day and they arrived two days ago.

[Tealwave]

Definitely not a sham! :) They take awhile but eventually they do get there... I think they go by way of the North Pole first ;)

Thanks to everyone that responded. My postcards from Hell have finally arrived.

 

Very good! Perhaps your postcards took the long route from Hell to the US:)

[kickballpro]

I don't know if Postcards from Hell are a Sham, but the Hell excursion is.

[cantw82cruz08]

Sounds like a fun thing to do...so, how exactly, does one get to Hell??? :)

[pampaul]

We plan on going when we're there in June. Just wondering how much does a Tshirt cost? What about postage? And I usually pick up a magnet from places that we visit. Will I find one in Hell?
