well, first off, you're right to get away from godaddy! I can't even begin to remember my hosting experiences with them. Definately a thumbs down.
Anyway, moving on to your problem:
When you say that you have begun building a few pages, do you mean html pages? Or do you mean pages that gather information from a database?
If you have pages in a database, then you have two problems:
1. Godaddy is not a cPanel/WHM hosting company, whereas I believe that Blue Host is. This means that they might have trouble transfering your site.
2. Godaddy does not use wordpress whereas Bluehost does, and the two database structures (tables, etc.) probably won't be the same. So it most probably wont be "copy and paste" kind of move.
Here is what I suggest:
1. contact Blue Host, tell them that you are a potential client, and ask them if they can move your old site for you and integrate it into word press.
They will probably say no, but you can always give it a go.
2. since you only have a few pages, just start again... save your site to your harddrive, and then copy and paste anything you wrote into your new blog.
