Orchid Travellers!
Some clarifications....The tour to Thailand Feb 22 -March 9 with an
option to attend the 2007 IPA Symposium in Taiwan March 9-13 begins in
Atlanta with some travellers possibly joining us in Los Angeles.
The Thailand portion of the trip costs a total of $4007 and includes
flights, ground transportation, hotels and most meals including taxes
(of course you'll bring some spending money). Participants can travel
on to Taiwan for the IPA Symposium portion of the trip for just a $ 505
increase and again includes flights, ground transportation, hotels and
most meals including taxes. Please note: If you take a moment to check
private reservations for economy airfare on the major airlines, you'll
find that airfare alone departing ATL March 8 to KHH (the most
convenient airport on Taiwan) roundtrip returning March 14 is about the
same cost. So you'll travel with a relatively small group of 15 orchid
enthusiasts with a translator in private buses, etc. for 14 days
touring through Thailand. In order to save space here in the forum, if
you are interested, please send an email, lee(at)clas.... I'll return a
detailed day by day itinerary for your consideration.
Please know that my motivation is orchid travels ...I hope you can join
us now or at a later date.
