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. 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. Lee Bredeson Hilton Head Island, SC [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(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.
