Had I known that my Canadian times would not count I still would have gone to Montreal. It is a half day drive a much cheaper meet and I like the city.
This was my reasoning as well for originally entering into the Canadian Nats this spring. A 4+ hour drive north from my hometown and I'm there. Much cheaper and easier than taking a cross country flight/hotels/etc. to go to USMS Nats in Greensboro. (Don't worry, I'm a full supporter of USMS, I'm just choosing financially this time). :) I've also got teammates going up to Canada who will be taking a motorhome, and have invited me to sleep on the floor. I snatched up that offer quick, and will be taking my sleeping bag along with me. :) That just saved my almost $400 in motel costs right there! :banana: Even better than Geico!
