We were on a cruise in March 2012 out of Ft. Lauderdale and ended up having dinner twice with a couple originally from Michigan. She had driven a school bus for children with disabilities; he was still consulting with a division of Ford...or another automobile manufacturer. She was here permanently but he was still "working". The woman couldn't stop raving about The Villages and how they had 2000 clubs from which to choose. She was a member of the Parrothead group from TV on this cruise. So, we went home, got the packet, scheduled our first visit in July 2012 to see if we could stand the heat. It was cooler that summer in TV as we came home to 106 degree heat in Kansas, so we figured we were adaptable. We've been watching TV just waiting for our opportunity. Came back in October 2017 just to make sure this was an option. Most of our friends think we're nuts, but if we don't try it, we'll never know. Had hoped to be in TV by now, but life has a way of slowing decisions down. So we are still coming, just not until 2019. If you are that wonderful woman who we met on the cruise with her hubby, I'd love to reconnect and thank her for her enthusiasm and sharing of TV.
