Awesome! I always find parades a lil' more exciting when they dance instead of walk. Especially since it's actual traditional dance (I'm assuming?).

i saw some good airfares, but probably on United...
i suggest paying a little more for quality, on JAL or ANA, even Singapore Airlines. I flew JAL twice. :applaud: :applaud:

We could've gone the day of the parade... It's just that we woulda be stuck there 'til 6 or 7... Might've been worth it.
