Editorial Summary

The creator shares their experience traveling to New Orleans for a themed parade after a difficult journey involving snow in Ottawa and flight delays in Toronto. After arriving and meeting several acquaintances for a high quality dinner in a courtyard setting, the creator attended a sci-fi themed parade. The creator notes that the event was much smaller in scale than a traditional Mardi Gras parade, featuring homemade floats and a lack of organized crowd control. This lack of monitoring led to issues with people blocking the views of those who had waited in line for hours. Following the parade, the creator returned to their hotel to sleep but was frustrated when housekeeping knocked on their door at quarter to nine in the morning despite a do not disturb sign. Despite the exhaustion of being awake for forty-one hours and the underwhelming parade, the creator expresses excitement about meeting thousands of people on a ship called the Breakaway and looks forward to the upcoming activities.
