Who plans on attending the WOC in Miami next year?? - Orchid Board

Linnie · #1 01-30-2007, 10:57 PM

I thought this might be a good thread. We can get an idea how many from the forum plan on attending... Maybe we could have an informal orchid board meeting in Miami, or just put some faces to names....

Has anyone signed up yet???

I plan on attending but I haven't signed up or looked into the specifics yet,

How about everyone else???

I was thinking of going down for the WOC Linnie, but I can't make definite plans yet. It would be nice to meet some OB members.

I'll let you know.

I will absolutely, positively be there...as long as I'm still alive

We'll be making a 3 or 4 day trip out of it so we can do some hanging out in and around Miami too

I love the idea of having an OB gathering

Great thread, Linnie...thanks

I know there was another thread somewhere about the upcoming WOC, but I couldn't find it. We have a few folks from Florida on this board, and I thought I would pick your brains.....
Basically I'm trying to see if I can justify the expense of flying to Miami for a week and need some options on relatively cheap accomodations. I'm willing to share rooms and expenses if I have to, but I'm not independently wealthy.........The earlier we make plans, the easier this would be.

Hi Bill...
I've merged both threads into one which our members can find here in The Orchid Lounge.

Although I live in Florida, I'm very unfamiliar with the Miami area, it'll be a 5 1/2-6 hr drive for us to get there.
I will be checking into the lodgings available and I will keep this thread updated with any information I come across.

I love the idea of a bunch of OB members meeting at such a fantasic location!!!

I'd like to come if I can get the time away from here

I plan to be there - depends on their arrangements for out of country plant purchases (US to Canada), I am already saving! It would be great to have a bunch of us get together.

It's been 20 yrs since I was in Miami and a trip to Disney World would be in order too. Anyone know what amusement parks/roller coasters are near Miami?

Dave, I'm sure the shipping question will be addressed. At the Redlands show, they had all the proper paperwork covered and inspectors on site. They are sure to have it covered

It's gonna be great!!!

I'm planning on being there for the first day of sales and the show being open to the public...Weds 1/23/08.
We're going to make it a mini-vacation and stay at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 39 miles away

If anybody else is going to be there on Weds, let's set up a meeting!
