I want to move to Charlottetown.
I need a job in order to move to Charlottetown.
I need to pound the pavement in Charlottetown to find a job.
I need a place to stay in Charlottetown while I pound the pavement.
There is no guarantee of a job.
All I have are my savings.
I won't have money coming in.
Those savings won't last long.
I can only stay for a short while.
All of the apartments want one-year leases.
All of the short-term rentals are expensive tourist destinations.
A much shorter stay in a hotel?
Problem solved!
So I'm planning a road-trip!
We're talking about a grueling, 10,000km (round-trip), middle of the summer (eww), month-long adventure across this great country of ours.
Calgary > Regina > Winnipeg > Thunder Bay > Sault Ste. Marie > Ottawa > Bangor (Maine) > Charlottetown.
Two weeks in Charlotte's town should be just enough time to reach out to a pre-determined list of potential employers and, hopefully, spend a bit of time touring the island that I love.
Then comes, what will undoubtedly be, a very tough drive back. I don't look forward to the first three days, fighting the urge to turn the car around at every U-turn opportunity that I see.
Lets see how long it takes for this plan to derail.

Señor Harris, your move can still happen — you just have to be a bit more patient. Plan to succeed, but always have some kind of fallback.
