We found The Villages to be all that was promised, and then some. It's a wonderful, magical place but I didn't want to stay. Do you remember the childhood story about the little girl who wished that every day was her birthday? Well, that's kind of the way it was for me, one continuing party in a beautifully decorated venue. Personally, I began to feel "off" being mostly around those of the geriatiric set enjoying it all but feeling a little like Soylent Green in seeing the future. Kind of creepy for me. I prefer being around the action that includes all generations, if possible.I belong to a gym that has two pools with plenty of my age group participating.
Felt a little too much like God's waiting room for me. I like the changes of the seasons, and yes. Snow. lol But that's just me, and to each his own.
