No - Unfortunately won't be attending. I was just curious as to how many of
the readers of this group were likely to attend. To go to Florida takes
about 30 hours for us so you can write of 3 days just travelling. I am
planning to go to the next mtg in Singapore. The flight is only 7 - 8 hours
and I can then go onto my beloved Borneo for another trek through the rain
forests. Might even consider PNG as an add on.

Another meeting to consider for those of you who need your international
orchid fix every once in a while is the Western Australian Orchid
Spectacular in September 2008. This is the prime time to see the flora of
WA (including the most amazing terrestrial orchids) which is unique in the
world because of the region's (SW corner of Australia) isolation from other
habitable areas being totally surrounded by desert or ocean for thousands of
miles.

Info is on the Internet. Hope to see some of you there. I know Danny is
planning to come out and I look forward to showing him some of the orchids
of my region in Victoria as well. Others would also be most welcome.

Cheers

John

John, I forgot to ask about your own plans. Will you be there, and for how
long?
