Interesting. We decided on TV vs other retirement communities because my wife is a people person and likes to get involved in all sorts of activities, at least those that she can physically participate in. I on the other hand more or less keep to myself and enjoy doing things around the house. I'm not a fan of 90+ degrees with full sun and humidity but am also not a fan of snow and negative temps. We have discussed this and surprisingly my wife would go back north to be near family although that could change as you never know where family will be living at that time and I'm sure she would miss all of her friends here in TV. I would leave and most likely end up in a mountain or country area near the family but 3 or 4 hours away so it would be an easy drive for me to visit or help out if needed. If you ever watched "Log Cabin Living" that is where I would be. We have always had second/vacation homes either in the mountains or on water and do miss that environment, especially the mountains. These are our thoughts but as we all know each year we get older and things can change at any time.
