Have you thought about travelling to the 2007 IPA Symposium? (at the Taiwan
Orchid Plantation, March 9-11 plus the two day trips to the orchid nurseries
March 12 & 13) I have! But to go all that way, why not see more? I just
returned from a December "orchid sojurn" through Southeast Asia... spending
several days each in Bangkok, Singapore, Bali and Hong Kong. I attended the
December Horticultural Fair in Bangkok where there were orchid entries from 17
countries. I've posted some highlights at Flickr
http://www.flickr.com/photos/classicorchids/ More will follow.
The IPA event was just the excuse I needed to go back. You see I have travelled
with Mr. Ed Boyett from Atlanta on a few orchid trips to Ecuador. I would like
to continue his 20 year history of leading orchid enthusiasts on tours to
Thailand and other destinations in the Orient. I've just checked the air
travel to book a roundtrip from Atlanta to Taiwan on the major airlines.
Tonight economy airfares were from $3600 to $4200 USD. I've put together an
itenerary to tour through Thailand and then have the option of going on to the
IPA Symposium. comes to $4007 and the option to travel on to the IPA Symposium
is just $505, which again includes flights and ground transportation, hotels
and most meals including taxes. I have space for 15 people. If you're
interested please send an email or to learn more please check my next email.
