cold feet
We stooped in TV on our way to Northern Florida to visit relatves last year. Just really a stop over and to see what the place looked like. We did a three night stay and looked at homes more for something to do than to really think about buying. So no pressure and the sales people where so layed back we laughed all the way home to CA. But we found our selves talking more and more about 'what if' and 'where are we going now that I'm retired'. So the next thing either of us knew we were on a plane going back to TV to really look at the area and spend some time there. We stayed in Fl. for a month and looked around with more seroius thoughts to leaving CA and moving to TV.
Then we put money down on the property, went home and put our home on the market. That's when the cold feet start. House won't sell, neighbors and friends start laughing when you say the word "retirement community", your son looks at you like "what".
But hey, we have an offer and are hoping for the best now. Don't do anyhting until you have spent some time in TV. Meet some people, go on a lifestyle stay or two. Tour around the area and make sure you like what you see. Research this web site and read up on this community and others in Fl. Knolwedge will make you feel better about the decision you make, what ever you decide.
Good luck and maybe we'll see you in The Villages.
