Re: Getting to the 2008 Honolulu Regionals doesn't require breaking the bank
We are definitely worried about shipping costs as well. Since we are attending the VCU regional, who knows how much its going to be from VCU back to Hawaii, then back to Championships, then back home. NJ to Vegas was $850.00 alone last year, not including the $400 extra we paid per trip for the overweight crate. The problem for Hawaii teams is that all of our tooling has to go in the crate, since its hard to carry on a plane ride, even as check in luggage. We save the check in space for Aloha items for each regional. 
I had asked the Hawaii committee planners for assistance as my calculation to participate in the Hawaii regional may cost us an additional $6000 round trip from our 1st regional to championships. 
It would be a lot cheaper, if we didn't attend the Hawaii regional.......but, we wouldn't dare do something like that.
