Actually that's not true. I do loves my mountains.

Take lots of pictures for us! How exciting for you all.

Will someone adopt me for a week so I can go?

If no one has put it out there yet, I would prolly prefer saturday the 15th of May.

I'll be sure to buy a lottery ticket on my way home tonight.
I do have a very nice sleeping bag. And am a wonderful cook.

I would like to go, but I have transportation issues. The only way I'd be able to make it is if I spent the night in Pinellas county, wherever the meeting spot is, and take the bus in the morning. Then I'd have to make sure I woke up early enough in the morning to make it. I wouldn't be able to cross the bay in time if I were to leave on the morning of the departure.

I also don't know how long the group would stay down there, where they would be staying, etc. Heck, I don't even know what group is hosting the bus drive! My biggest concern, though, about going would be getting stranded. I don't think I'd be happy about being stranded 400+ miles from home in a city I don't know.

I'm afraid I may just have to sit this one out and look at the pics. It would be pretty awesome to meet the OB posters in South Florida.

I will be sure to take some extra pics for you!
I think the groups going on bus trips are orchid society groups, I could be wrong.

Yeah, but I don't know which society is doing it (not sure if it's gonna be the TBOS or another society).

I'd be kinda embarrassed about asking for a ride, though. It's like, "Hey, I'm not a part of the OS, but can I ride anyway?" I don't wanna be a mooch. I'm embarrassed just asking for directions, let alone a ride.

Can't wait to see the pics, though, and drool over the plants.
