Blondie,
I think you are gonna like it here. We just returned from our week trip. We had had NO inclination to buy a home, and bought one.
You will be astonished by the aura of warmth, compatibility, and accessibility that exudes from most Villagers. You will be delighted by the cleanliness and joyful style of the physical surroundings. You will be amazed at the many opportunities to join like minded people in their various activities...or inactivities. You will enjoy the hospitality of the lodging and food. You will be overwhelmed by it's size, and unless you are able to use a map well, you may miss your flight home.
AND unless you figure out the traffic circles, you may miss your flight home.
AND unless you are very careful, you too will be bumbling around trying to explain the place, like I have just failed to do.
I WELCOME you to THE Villages by the authority invested in me by the fact that we have almost closed on a home on Havana Way.
Hope to hug you someday soon.
