If you're an NY team and want to go to 2 regionals, you have to either

a) do back to back weeks
b) cover the entire length of the state (and that's if you want to only do an NYC/FLR jaunt)
c) drive down to College Park, MD, California, PA, or Cleveland, OH or any points further away that.

I mean, for what it's worth, I'm used to the thrill of having the three closest regionals to me sharing 2 weekends, but I'm not asked to search for flights to go to the next closest one after that.
For a lot of upstate teams, Canadian regionals are closer. Perhaps more paperwork for an international trip, but closer. For what it's worth, 2914 is planning to travel internationally this year for the first time. Out of state travel might be easier when you don't live in a state though.
