We're very excited over here on the Big Island! We still have interisland airfare/hotel/transportation but that still beats the $$$ to the Mainland. We might be able to attend two regionals for the first time or maybe even the Nationals which have been out of reach for us and our budget. It should help Mainland teams to appreciate what great lengths we have to go through to get a team across the pacific to a Mainland regional. Thank you McKinley for representing all our Hawaii teams with the Governor on Wednesday....we were with you in spirit! See you in San Jose!
