Default 19th World Orchid Conference Miami

Considering that my wife to be has family in Perth, maybe I actually have a
chance of getting to this one. Do you have a link that you could post for
the event?

Hi Kye

I would have to fly to Perth. Am keeping an eye out for QANTAS specials
as they have regular deals with significantly cheaper airfares. Probably
a bit early yet as the conf is still over a year away. The only problem
with the timing of the conference is that it clashes with the AFL Grand
Final which I usually go to. The only reason I would change my plans is
if my team is playing (unlikely on this year's form!).

Cheers

John

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?

Hand in air. Not sure which days we are going, but we need to make
that decision soon. I hope we can do a meet up!
