ConeyIsBabe,
No doubt about it, you are correct when you state that "it's always daunting when moving to anew place and knowing nobody, especially as a single person". However, from what I have witnessed as a visitor, The Villages is a wonderfully friendly place where you should have NO problem making new friends rather quickly. Afterall, you've already begun doing just that.
Make sure you take Pickleball lessons because it's a fun sport. If you can line dance, that's a great way to introduce yourself and if you can't line dance there are lessons waiting for you. As a born and bred New Yorker, you can always sign up for the stickball games ... and just think, no cops to worry about. Now, now, don't say you can't hit a spalding with a broom handle.... of course you can and if not it's still a nice way to introduce yourself.

Yes, TV IS a special place where getting acquainted is easier than finding Nathan's in Coney. Keep in mind that residents of The Villages are the friendliest folk in the friendliest place.

But, I wonder if you're going to miss the dungeness crab of the Pacific Northwest. Yum-o as Rachel Ray says.
