I’ll start by saying what I anticipate I will love. I love sunshine and hot temps so I believe I’ll love the weather. I love to be outside, to see nature, watch birds and take bike rides so I believe I’ll love the trails and preserves. My husband and I love to play games, cards, board games etc. so I believe I’ll love the clubs. We’re not “night life” people so the bands, drinking and dancing aren’t our thing but I believe I’ll love quiet evenings on our lanai with cool drinks and conversations about our day. We’re not looking for much. Just to be closer to one of our children and enjoy our golden years in such a lovely setting. How about you?  |
Welcome, Vicki!
Your post pretty much says it all; my list a year ago before our move was pretty similar to yours today. One thing I'd add is convenience. We're never more than a 15-minute golf car ride at most to just about anything we'd ever want or need, and with gas costing as much as it is, that is pretty important.
