But I do want to see the show and of course the sales, and I'll probably bite the bullet and do a single-day registration so I can take in Bob Dressler's trichopilia talk on Friday, which is unfortunately at the exact same time as another talk I'd most like to hear: the bulbo culture by Bill Thoms. But at least I'll be able to go to Averyanov's lecture as it's earlier in the day. Maybe Bill Thom's talk will be videotaped (as all the presentations should - of course I'm dreaming here) and I'll get to see it that way. The most important thing is that the old friend I stay with in Ft.L. will have his new heated pool in by then, and a pitcher of margaritas ready! |

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! Diana wrote in message oups.com... On Aug 16, 5:10 am, "John Varigos" wrote: As a matter of interest, who is planning to go to the Conference in Miami next year? ~John -raises hand- for a couple days, at least. full week is too rich for my blood. --j_a |

John, I forgot to ask about your own plans. Will you be there, and for how
long? Diana "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... 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! Diana wrote in message oups.com...

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 "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... John, I forgot to ask about your own plans. Will you be there, and for how long?

I'm wasn't going, but looking at the lectures, I am wavering. I will probably attend - as a full registrant.

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 "Kye" wrote in message ...

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? -- Yours Sincerely Kye "John Varigos" wrote in message om... Hi Kye I would have to fly to Perth.

I've already registered, not sure how many days we will be down there.
Conference fees are a heck of a lot less than the hotel bill will be (need to figure out where we're staying soon before everything fills up.) -danny "John Varigos" wrote in message om... As a matter of interest, who is planning to go to the Conference in Miami next year? ~John |
