That assumes money is no object. Do better.
Also, there does come a point (likely after age group swimming) where the swimmer may want to prioritize the faster meet over a swimming vacay with friends. That’s not psychotic, it’s about prioritization. You don’t get to decide that for other swimmers.

If you’re quibbling over a few hundred dollars on five day trip, you’re the one that needs to do better.

Probably more like a few thousand but okay. ISCA is typically flights, rental car, hotel with resort fee, expensive meals, and expensive spectator seating. You can drive to Rochester and stay/eat at not spring break rates.
At this point, I presume you’re a troll or just being intentionally provocative. ✌️

You can drive to St. Pete; I did last year. You can book a hotel for $150 a night within walking distance to the pool; I’ve already done that for 2025. If you are super budget conscious, you’ll think about these things. Chipotle costs the same in NY as it FL.
