    In 2 weeks we are going to be visiting our daughter in Melbourne,
    Australia, with trips to Sydney and Brisbane.  On the way, we will be
    spending 5 days on the North Island of New Zealand--Auckland,
    travelling down to Whakatane, Rotorua and Hamilton.

    I would appreciate it if Orchid members from those areas would
    contact me directly to let me know where I can see good handcrafted
    jewelry. Also would appreciate information on purchasing good opals.
    I've heard that I'll probably not get any bargains; however, I want
    to purchase enough to be able to claim part of the trip as a business
    trip. I'm studying the Paul Downing book on Opals, so I can feel a
    little more comfortable with what I am seeing and considering.  (And
    if anyone knows of a beekeeper and/or blueberry or raspberry grower
    anywhere, my husband would appreciate knowing about that, too.) 

Many thanks!
Linda Sorensen
