This was posted in the IPS Magazine. It's still listed as proposed travel but I wanted to start a thread. Hopefully we can get updates as we get closer.  I know I'm marking my calendar!

I'm totally excited at the prospect of a New Caledonia Biennial! I think someone said, "30 palms in habitat." I hope Mont Panié is included.

I won’t miss this one and have heard many people very excited about this destination!

 
Lots of planning has already happened as the IPS is back to its normal pattern of advance planning!

All that means is that I'll see you there, Tracy!

All I can say is that I've been putting "New Caledonia" on every post Biennial questionaire when asked for suggestion where to go after I attend one. I also put it for my 2nd choice. If I have to sell a car, I'm going!!

Hoping, Hoping, Hoping!!

The IPS Biennial of year 2000 visited New Caledonia, and it was the best one of all that I attended.

Bill and Jeff, I am delighted to hear that you are going to go to New Caledonia!

With permission, I am excited to post the preliminary itinerary here!

I can also report that there are several tempting pre and/or post trips under consideration. 
 

The cost has not yet been finalized as the planners continue to negotiate. 

Don’t miss this chance to expand your horizons and create lifetime memories.

Hi Folks. I was in New Caledonia with IPS in 2000. It was my first biennial. I was so impressed by the tour that I decided to keep travelling with IPS henceforth, and have never been disappointed. That New Caledonia trip was absolutely amazing. As much as I have travelled the world in search of palms, I have never been so blown away by the variety of palms (and other living things) as well as by the exotic locations within New Caledonia that we visited - that I could not have gotten into myself if it were not for IPS - as you need permission from tribes to enter their territory. The food there was wonderful, and it was not too hot as it lies close to the tropic of cancer. I never thought that I would ever go back but I was absolutely riveted when I heard that we are indeed planning to go back to the Land that Time Forgot. I would not miss this opportunity for anything in the world, as there is no guarantee that this trip will ever repeat itself. Do yourself a favor and start planning for the trip.

Australia and NZ are on my wishlist also. Papua New Guinea is also fascinating. I remember the stories my uncle told us of the time he was a teacher there, in the times of dutch colonialism. How safe is this country to travel?

Any plans of Mt. Panie? Maybe pre or post trip? There resides my favorite.. Chambeyronia (Kentiopsis) piersoniorum.

At the recent Board meeting I heard of a possible option to go north, involving complicated travel and the need for more permits by the planners, possibly as a small group pretour, but don’t know more than that. 
 

Stay tuned.
