Ok. While we are on this topic....

Actually, I don't think that the air will be much cooler in Toronto. My
wife is from Jakarta, and she complains that the summers here in inland
Washington state are too warm for her.

The real and material difference is that the water will be warmer and
the beaches more pleasant.

If you want to go somewhere with a mild climate, might I suggest Quito,
Ecuador. It is about 80F year-round and if you want to go down to the
beach you could do that for a couple days after the party either via a
cheap plane ride ($40 last time I was there) or a few hours by car. The
elevation might be a problem though (3000m)...

And the beaches are ecuatorial and hot so you get something for
everyone. (Even those who want to drive to the headwaters of the Amazon.)
