Moving in order to dive more, a crazy idea?

[jfoutz]

I’m currently in between “real jobs” and working from home for a little bit. (Well, actually I don’t do any work at home – I spend a lot of money at a local coffee shop.) The lease on my house here in New Orleans runs out at the end of June, so I have to move. I was originally thinking of trying to find a short-term (six month) lease here locally. Then my father pointed out that I don’t have anything tying me here at all and suggested that I go do something new and exciting.

At first I thought about buying a sailboat and moving onto it, but it would be a bit of a financial stretch and just isn’t going to happen. So now I’m thinking maybe it might be nice to move to central Florida for a bit so that I can at least go cave diving once or twice a week.

I’m curious to know what people think. A good idea? A bad idea? A really really stupid idea? Any thoughts?

I think it would be really nice if *I* didn't have anything tying me to St. Louis...

I envy you having the freedom and at least some of the money to be even considering such a move!

Move south. Oh god yes.

Get a copy of the classifieds in the area you are thinking of moving to, check out housing prices, jobs, etc. Get a list, do a road trip and find a place that feels right and go for it. Some papers are online so it makes the search that much easier.

Go for it I am taking a year off here in Cali and loving it, mostly the diving

Do it, as soon as I catch up on things financially, I'm contemplating moving from lower AL to central FL as well
