I raised the "expensive bus" issue because it negatively affected my opinion of The Villages.

However, let me reassure everyone that the vast majority of my experiences at The Villages were very positive:

1) everyone was friendly and helpful
2) the sports facilities were excellent
3) car drivers were courteous to golf cart drivers
4) the whole area was clean and well-maintained
5) the real estate sales people were not pushy
6) even tropical storm Fay did not dampen people's spirits

You have a lovely community, of which you should be proud.
