Mail from Aruba Question

I would like to send a postcard from Aruba to the US and have
it arrive at its destination within five to seven days. Is
there a way to do this? How much will it cost?

Good luck.
Air Mail postcards from Bonaire to the U.S. usually take 10 or
more days. Most times, our friends in town get their cards
several days _after_ they've seen us and heard The Full Trip Report.
At one time we started mailing the postcards the day we arrived --
but, all the news you have to report at that time is the color of
your rental car. :-)

This is not possible with the Aruba Post which is terribly slow! The
only fast way of doing it would be to send it FedEx, which is not
cheap!

Try Fedex or Airborne Express. Fedex letter pouch is about $30 and
change. The others? I am afraid you have no control over when it'll
arrive.

Take along a digital camera and card reader w/USB cord. Take a picture of
the post card with the macro function, and email it from an internet cafe.
Other than that, it will cost you a fortune or not get there in time.
Alternative: Mail it when you touch down in the USA again.

Part of the charm of the Caribbean is that it is out of the way. The
trade-off is that what you want can't be done cheaply.
