Re: [OGD] Dijon WOC2005

[Thomas Hillson]

Best wishes to everyone who can go to the WOC in Dijon, we had plans 
to go, buy my wife's "stupid" boss decided to implement a no 
vacations policy for the next year, while they are making some major 
changes in her company. We were in Miami in 84 and enjoyed it very 
much, We enjoyed Vancouver in 98 even more, because we vacationed on 
Vancouver Island before the show. The aftermath of 9/11/01 prevented 
us from going to Malaysia in 2002. It took me three years to get my 
wife flying again, now other problems.

Every WOC has its expenses, but that should not be a restraint on 
people going, even getting plants back should not be a deterrent. The 
WOC is an event that happens every three years, and they are 
magnificent. If it takes place anywhere close to you, and you can go, 
you should, it is an experience you will not forget. The memories you 
take home with you will be worth every thing you spend and all the 
time you spend filling out paperwork to get a few plants home. We 
will envy those of you, who will make it to the show.
