I was wondering where USMS nationals will be in 2009?

It isn't the travel part: I don't mind going out west. It is the nearly inaccessible sh**hole part. Seriously. Have you been to Frenso?
Okay, actually, I lied. It is the travel part. On principle, I don't think national meets should be held someplace where anyone flying from a major airport would need a connection. That means anyone who doesn't live near a major airport is looking at two, and considering people are flying across the country anyway, that seems to me too restrictive to be inclusive, which is what Masters Nats are, no?
Sure, it's not quite resort material. Having said that, Bakersfield, Huron, and Coalinga are just a hop-skip-jump away from Fresno. Plenty of nightlife, culture, and entertainment within those cities.
