I am so excited for my first trip to The Villages to spend 10 days in August! I want to retire to an active lifestyle community. To help me decide on Florida, I want to see if I can handle Florida's hottest weather. Coming from upstate NY, the Florida weather will be quite a change.

I am single and still in my 50's. I want to make the most of my 10 short days doing all I can to learn if The Villages is the place for me.

What should I make sure that I do while I am here? Where are the places that I should absolutely see? What folks should I talk with to get a true perspective?

Thanks in advance for your responses. I hope to make some good friends here!
