wichard03 - I've been doing this kind of thing for years. same is right. the best thing to do is save up a nice chunk of money (if you can) and take about 3-4 months and do 5 cities you think you might be interested in.
You don't want to make a major commitment to a city or a job if you've never been there before. Also - the US job market being what it is, if you find you like a place, you can always freelance on a short-term gig and live like a local for a while to see if you like it. Don't worry about not knowing anyone. Between craigslist and every other social network out there (hello QBN!), friends won't be an issue.
I've lived in New York, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco - each have their ups and downs but they are all very, very different.
