What orchid shows would you attend, if you could and why?

[vmax3000]

I have finished a big project and become unemployed, which is not all bad, in my case. My greenhouse has needed my attention, as the "plague" and rat eviction this summer indicated. Most of the wilt has been stifled , or at least I really hope so. Physan 20 really helped, so a big thank you to all who suggested it's use. Here I am with some free time on my hands, an old car, a sense of adventure and a serious case of orchiditis..... I have always wanted to attend the Chicagoland orchid show and the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate show and sale, but was wondering what shows you have attended or want to attend and why. Sorry, international (Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia) friends, my car won't make it to your suggested shows, but I would still love to know which ones you have enjoyed and why...maybe some day!! I might could attend a good Canadian or Mexican show, though....kinda depends on the old car. Thanks to all for any ideas.
