Meet people
Researchers have found the single most important factor in happiness in retirement is the quality of your personal relationships.
You know the weather is warm in the winter. Golf is the same everywhere. You have worked all your life and now you don't have work friends and your family will be far away. Sitting on the lanai in the sun and reading a book will get you about a week. Now you either find a new life with new people, or you will pack up and do back to the kids in that cold place. So, your job here is to find out who you really are.
The most important thing for you to do is stand in line. If you find you are talking to the people in front of and behind you, and smiling and laughing -- you are Village people, and you will regret you didn't come here years ago. If you just waited for that table, or coffee, or whatever... well, you are probably not going to be really happy away from "home."
