#1. I just spent the month of December in TV and did not rent a cart and got along just fine. I did miss the opportunity of dropping into the tunnels and coming up in another location to explore but that gives me something to look forward to next time. If I had a cart I would have used it to go to the pool but I the 10 minute walk in the warm sun was a lot better.
#2. I would get a lap top and you can use the wireless access at the larger Rec Centers. I used my work lap top and looked or an open wireless connection in my neighborhood but nothing was open. I tethered my company provided Blackberry to the lap top and connected to the Internet that way. This connection is expensive but the company I work for has a very good corporate rate. I only use the tethering when I cannot find an open access point.
#3. As far a mail service, I just had mine held at the post office for the month. All my bills were prepaid so I did not have anything to worry about. You will be surprised now much junk mail you will get in a month.
One thing you may want to do is go on-line and download at the weekly Recreation News. You can then mark your calendar for those activities that you may be interested in. This was a great help in planning appointments with my sales rep as they did not interfere with other activity.
Enjoy your stay.
