Dear OGDers who have travelled to the USA, If the treatment of the orchids/flasks that you are carrying was the only factor, what would be your choice for your Port of Entry? Evenhough properly documented, due to what I consider as inexperience with handling orchids, I lost almost a dozen orchids (mature plants) when travelling into the Seattle Port of Entry last spring. Secondly, for my own needs, which is a better choice, Los Angeles or New York? Any other tips beyond port of entry on how to avoid difficulties would help save orchids in transit. This is an important consideration and I invite those of you who don't normally comment to let me know here or by direct email. If there is enough information, I would like to write a short article. So here's a chance to contribute and stay anonymous if you prefer. Thanks in advance, Lee
