This sounds great. Tiptoe and her entourage can enjoy the annual fireworks with us from our rooftop and go to a hot spring resort with me, my children and my brother. We may even get to tour the huge Buddha statue in Kamakura. My brother could either take the group back with him in late August or I could send them via Japan Post to Canada. I think that they'd enjoy a tour of the neighborhood around the National Cancer Center here so the Japan Post option is best.

Now I have to dig around for my kid brother's real address (we communicate online so much and I've never had a chance to actually visit his house because we live so far away) . I know that they'd arrive if they were sent to him (Jesse Koennecke) at Cornell's Mann Library in Ithaca, NY but I'll get his home address and send it on.
