That's a sensible decision. One problem that nobody touched on is getting
the tree BACK into the US. That could be the toughest part of all.

Subject: [IBC] Plane travel with a bonsai
Hi Nina, thanks for your reply.
I found a nursery which has agreed to do a discount for me as a student
and take my Serissa in for 5? a week. I will have to get into Paris
somehow, but the price is so low I think I would be stupid to say no.
Thanks everyone for your advice.

Make sure you talked to officials that knew what they were talking
about: I find it hard to believe that you'd be allowed to bring the
serissa in with soil included; they might allow it bare-root, but we
don't even want to imagine how the Serissa would react to that.
And honestly, I've always dreamed of going to Iceland, but never in
my fantasies did I dream of bringing my Serissa along. It spoils the
romance of the thing.
Many nurseries have a "kennel" service, where they would charge you
some sort of fee for taking care of the plant. And really, the only
kind of friend worth having is a friend who'll take care of your
bonsai- so join a club and make some friends.
