I would go in a New York minute if it was guaranteed that I see the orchid
on the left of this photo!*G*

No, seriously, if you have the time & the money GO! I wish I could?
There must be a webpage out there with info on what to take & do etc.?
Definitely lots of photos, waterproof camera bag, extra cards if digital or
even a laptop with CD's
Bug repellant & water bottle.
Cheers Wendy
