I wish you good luck, but not to be Debby Downer, you need to be in Alaska or Washington to have a decent shot.

Yeah, I've already talked with my boss about taking a few weeks vacation (I get 3 a year anyways) and taking off to AK for a little, but it's not something I'd be willing to leave everything and just go out there on a whim. If something looks promising, I'm gone.
