Thanks to all for the input. I'm really looking forward to the visit. My plan is to rent for a month this summer in the Villages. I also plan to check out other areas of Florida (Naples, Ft. Myers, Tampa Bay area, Vero Beach, etc) during my trip. Who known, if I like the Villages well enough I may not even check out those other areas. If I really like it I will probably try to find a place to rent for a few months this winter. Almost everyone whom I have met either loves the Villages or at least really likes it. A few thought it was just "okay". I guess I need to try it for myself to really know, thus my plan.

I really prefer for the most part to be around other singles. If I'm with a female friend I don't mind hanging out with married couples but if I'm alone, I feel like a fifth wheel when I'm with couples. This could be a problem for me in the Villages but I guess it would be the same almost anywhere since all retirement communites seem to be couples oriented.

If any other singles, especially guys are interested in commenting, I'm will be checking here regularly. Single women, I would appreciate your comments also.
Thanks.....Wilt
