We have spent about equal time in the last couple months at both our Villages home and our home up north. Hands down, there is much more fun stuff to do in the Villages for us. Granted, we enjoy doing outdoor activities that lend themselves to social distancing so we are less effected by Covid than others. Being able to golf in our own cart, which we know is clean, swim laps in several different beautiful outdoor sports pools under the sun, bike ride on uncrowned and flat streets with my wife, and enjoy our backyard pool are highlights for us that are not available up north. Also, as previously stated, in the Villages we don’t have to endure constant protests/riots. And even though the Covid numbers are spiking in Florida, we feel safer in the bubble of the Villages than we do up north where a much younger population appears to have decided to abandon taking recommend precautions. Whenever we venture out of the house up north we feel we are seriously putting our health at risk. Plus, it is just about as hot and humid up north as in Florida this time of year, with daily thunder and lightning storms, where we do not have central air. When we are in the Villages we are busy from the time we get up to when we go to bed, exhausted. The highlight of my day up north yesterday was finding an hour and a half window with no thunder and lightning so I could begin the annual wood splitting task while getting bit by multiple mosquitoes and horse flies. I will take the Villages thank you.
