That's just a sign that you need to do more fund raising. I understand that with it being your first year, raising that much money is difficult. (How did you come up with $1500 per student? I didn't think it was nearly that much!)
The only thing that would change pricewise in changing cities would be the airline tickets. I don't think there was a whole lot of difference between flying to Florida and flying to Texas. It just seems that moving nats for that reason wouldn't make much sense.
It would also be MUCH harder on FIRST, I'd imagine. Trying to keep nats in the same place is probably hard enough. Moving from city to city would make it much harder. They would need to work out deals everywhere they went rather than just making one deal to hold out for a few years.
As nice as it would be, I just don't think it's plausible. Then again...who knows
