I've heard that Hawaii is really expensive to live in.

Aside from that, I have a friend who has a sister...and she went to Europe and did the work for a few weeks, take a train to the next place, etc. She went all through Germany and Holland as well as few other places I think.

You could always come to Washington State and camp your way along the coast!

This sounds like an amazing opportunity that shouldn't be passed up! I recently lost my job as well and if Ben didn't just get promoted...I would so do this. Tell BJ it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and the fact is that as long as you're in the adventurous mindset, it doesn't really matter where you go! But both of you being free from jobs and a lease might never, ever happen again. So go for it!
