I'm going to do that this year.  Since it's up next month I don't want 
to fool around with this right now.  Network Solution cost me $38 for 
one year which is outrageous.  They used to have multi-year deals but 
their 5 year deal for me would have saved me a whopping $5 ($1/year).  
It used to be like 25% savings for three years.  I've had this domain 
for over 10 years, renewing each and every January vowing every year to 
make a change, so maybe they see me coming.  Their reminder emails this 
year make NS out to be, IMHO, a company not to be trusted.  If I'm 
paying almost 4x what GoDaddy charges I expect some decorum, some 
professionalism.  I checked all these emails and they're legit.  They 
came from NS.  Maybe if I get ambitious I'll compile the entire 
timestamped Subject list.  You just have to read the Subject of these 
warnings to realize how scummy their campaign to get me renewed was.  I 
did renew today BTW.

I'm thinking of transferring in Spring hopefully without any kind of 
long term outage.  I wouldn't want all the goobers trying to break into 
my Wordpress site 500 times a day to not be able to resolve my site for 
a couple of days.

If I do this in May will GoDaddy honor the existing time I have already 
paid for?  I also want to take out another domain name and need a domain 
host.  I've used up all my freebies from Zoneedit.  I can't find 
anywhere what GoDaddy charges for that.  They seem to just want to host 
my site and parsing through all the marketing bullshit is rather tiring.

This entire DNS registry business seems to be filled with scumbags.  
Except for ZoneEdit.  They've been rock solid all these years.
