A good source of information for newcomers can be had by watching videos from The Villages Newcomers on YouTube. Jerry and Linda moved to TV in November and have put out about a video a week about moving to and getting acclimated in, The Villages. Also you can watch some of Skip Smith's videos, also on YouTube. One thing I can tell you is that Villages homes have comparatively little storage - no basements and attics which get too hot to store many things. Also, most people that move their old furniture seem to quickly get rid of much of it in favor of more "Florida style" furniture. So, you may want to save some moving cost by getting rid of much of your "stuff" before coming down. Good luck and hope to see you around in the future! Ed
