Yeah that makes the best sense. In the meantime I would backup
all of your pages and images because I wouldn't be one to fully
trust GC and all they may do.
I would also be looking for new hosts as was suggested in other
replies, and move to them as soon as possible because you want
your pages on the new hosts to be able to be found in search
engines as they are now. You'll want to do a "301 redirect" from
your old URL's to the new URL's so your new pages will show up
for the old pages' results. (I can explain that when needed).

Harold,
Perhaps waiting until summer would be best. I would expect them
to open up
the web sites for FTP access.
I grabbed this from their help section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll provide more details about closing GeoCities and how to
save your site
data this summer, and we will update the help center
------------------------
with more details at that time.
