My mom found my shellback card among some stuff in her basement and asked if I’d like her to send it to me. Yes, please! Darned if I want to earn a replacement card.

Nah, it was the tail end of a WESTPAC, we were on our way home from liberty in Perth. We skipped it on the way down.

Similar here! Except we got it going out on WESTPAC, not on our way home from Perth.
