Default Be careful what direction your lanai faces or you will NOT enjoy it in the evenings !

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?
Dont get a Western lanai exposure or it will be very hot and sunny all afternoon - be careful ! We came north for the summer and I really miss my new home in TV and all of my activities - mah jongg, line dancing class, cardio drumming class, zumba, water exercise and even tap dancing ! Wonderful bike trails - we took many after dinner rides and also went with the bike club a few times. Just getting into a ladies golf group and pickleball. And quilt groups ! So much to do and I cannot wait to get back .
