What are some interesting things that people are doing to maintain their long distance relationships?

I’m in a long distance relationship myself. I call my girl friend overseas every morning and chat on the phone for an hour. Hearing her voice makes me feel that she’s close by. We don’t use our web cams much since we don’t like to sit near our computers when we talk. Strangely, I feel more at ease when I don’t use a web cam. Occasionally I would send out a gift package. I would like to try something new that goes beyond the use of phones and web cams.
