How about you came along.
I'm looking for two or three people for this trip. It's not going to be
luxurious, just improvising and traveling around. Looking at tourist
atractions whenever we see them and especially looking for orchids. If
possible take a few home with us.
Just having fun and perhaps getting to know a few orchid hobbyists.

To the rest of you thanks for the responses.
Cheers
Peter

Ok,
I'm planning a trip to Ecuador in 2005. End of augaut beginning of
september.
What I would like to know are some basic tips. It's going to become a
real
orchid hunt, just to see what I can find. My Aunt works at the Belgium
embassy and should be able to arange the needed paperwork.
I was thinking about one week at an altitude of 2900. Being Quito. My
aunt
lives there and outside the city I saw a lot of orchids when I went in
1992.
Later a week at the coast there's a lot of forest there and a different
climat an last but not least one week in the jungle. There a belgian
monk
living at a small mission just outside the jungle and he's a good friend
of
my aunt.
My budget is going to be 2500Euro(=dollar) and I'm hoping to find one
or
two experienced travelers to come along. Splitting the costs and helping
eachother in case of trouble. Also hoping that a niece or cousin can
help
with the language.
That's the basic Idea.

So what do you think and any tips what I should remember or think off.
Cheers
Peter
