"A 10-year-old Oregon boy scribbled a note on binder paper, stuck it into a bottle and tossed it into the ocean. A year later and 2,000 miles away, a 9-year-old girl exploring a Hawaii shoreline found the bottle floating in a tide pool."

It must be a wonderful feeling, to not only get a reply from a long-ago message you threw out to sea, but the anticipation and high hopes one must have just as they're about to throw the message out to sea, wondering when in the future they'll get a reply. Or if they ever will. This is definitely one of the things I want to do before I die. Oh, sweet serendipity!
