As for planning in two weeks: well, I gotta go with Andy B there and say that planning travel for WashingtonDC or something wouldn't be very hard. And FIRST could even reserve Xrooms for each team that would be attending and the teams could just pay FIRST for them. Then the online thing to worry about is airfare.. and well, travelling to Orlando is totally different than going to most places.. it's a hopping destination no matter when...
DC wouldn't be exactly the best place to hold nationals (or finals or whatever). We'll start first with the fact that there isn't any arenas or sports stadiums inside of DC. There are also no large buildings (no building can be higher than the capital) which cuts down on hotels. A good portion of DC isn't the nicest area because of crime. So that basically leaves you outside of the city if you want to be in the area. And I don't even want to get started on traffic. Let's just say I made the mistake of driving in DC rush hour traffic once and I don't intend to do it again.
