I think joining an orchid society is a good idea.
the AOS is regarded as one of the best.
just so we dont get two threads on the same topic regarding the transport of your orchids i have also enclosed the link to the thread
snowbird transport
you also have the chance to learn here on orchidgeeks as well.
We have heaps of awesome members that will help with all your orchid questions.
so what ever questions you have just ask.
no matter how silly the question may seem if you dont ask you will never know.
welcome and happy chatting
