My husband and I had a similar experience as you and your wife this past August which was our first visit to TV after a number of years of online exploring. We had a great TV agent Machele Seiver who went out of her way to arrange for anything we wanted to see and do, so we explored much of the community with her. We also spent some time venturing outside the community and visited Mt. Dora, Ocala, and a few other surrounding towns since we had never visited this area of central Florida previously. And we were pleasantly surprised by not only how much we liked what see saw in TV, but also very much liked that natural beauty we saw outside the community.
We are +/- a year from making the move as we have a home to sell in R.I. and are in the process of doing the necessary repairs that need to be done before we put it up for sale, along with me having yet to retire. Fortunately for me, I just hit my 20 year mark of Federal/VA R.N. service and I also have the age requirement to be eligible for an immediate retirement so it is nice to know I can go tomorrow if need be and take my health insurance with me which is very important since I am not yet age eligible for Medicare. My husband is already > 65 and on Medicare along with he is a disabled Vet and now gets most of his care at the VA which is a plus for him that TV has a VA CBOC right in the community.
Wishing you the best starting the new chapter of your lives in TV, and hopefully we too will be doing the same in the not too distant future.
