We are from Florida and went to Boston last year and are going to Texas this year. Even then, we have nothing on Alaska or Hawaii.

Haha! We are the "ones". I hope that isn't an issue.

We thought it would be fun to start the year early with this invitational. What should we look forward to in Texas?

The farthest I've been so far is Nebraska for Nationals last year.

Farthest I've been to is WSU from Beckendorff (invitational and nationals). This year, (hopefully) I go to MIT, which would then be the farthest.
