Welcome, Go-Bucks! A lifestyle visit is a good first step. Only you know whether you can bear to be away from your family or not. With 4 daughters and 12 grandchildren you do have a lot to walk away from, but as others have said there are many ways to keep in touch, etc. It also helps a lot if your family is supportive of your decision. If you decide you don't want to be away from them year round and if financially feasible for you to do so, you could always just winter in TV. In that case, you may just want to rent for the 2 or 3 months to get away from the cold and retain a residence back home. Come down and see for yourself. I know that anytime I went on vacation, I was always ready to get back home after a period of time. That was until I started vacationing in The Villages - then it seemed no matter how long I stayed, I never wanted to leave. That's when I knew it was time to start planning to make it my new home. Best wishes to you!
