You gotta have at least a couple G's in your pocket before you up and bounce. Your best bet is to apply to jobs and if they call you for an interview, fly down there, do the interview and go back home. If they call you back saying you got the job, those G's in your pocket should keep you afloat with rent, food, cell phone bill etc until you bubble up again with those paychecks then you can enjoy starting your life over.
