Default Re: Tell us your Villages buying story!!!

We did the "preview" years ago--back when you got "Village Bucks"--weren't retired but loved what we saw. Came back a few times during trips to Florida--staying at La Hacienda Hotel and with friends who were on "preview." Brought my husband's parents for preview last May--they wanted to see what we had been talking about. Husband and I looked at each other--said "why aren't we here?" Went back to Va--disposed of most all our belongings. (We had sold our big house 5 years ago and were living in a small high-rise apt in the City but still had a river cottage, 2 boats and a truck to sell. ) Came back in August--rented a house with the goal of buying and closing in two weeks--actually took us two and a half!!! Found the perfect house for us in Belvedere and here we are!! Still getting used to leaving everyone behind but enjoying he Village Lifestyle.
