If you can make it, come to the international party, sign up at the international tent & join in the international parade.
Borrow a tent, or RV, from your uncle & camp for the full on experience. Staying miles away may save you on hotel prices, but you miss out on so much. Staying on site you miss nothing - the evenings are packed full of entertainment as well. Try to get to the seaplane base, you won't regret the extra effort.
And bring the good weather faeries with you too, would you
