[QUOTE=Two Bills;2143562]Cost is a factor for many of us coming from abroad.
Since Covid restrictions were lifted, high season house rental has doubled, car rental has quadrupled, air fairs double or more, and that is before you add food, entertainment, and all the other extras.
On the plus side, wife and I after 20+ years have called it a day on wintering in TV, so there are an extra two daily Tee times available! [/QUOTEt]

I’ve been going to the UK Every year for a while with a break the past few years for Covid. We went this year and airfare was the same as it was in 2019.
I rented a car in California in August and the price was about the same as when I rent a car in Boston in 2021.
Yes, food prices are up a bit rentals are certainly higher but isn’t that normal? As far as entertainment, there is so much free entertainment in The Villages that it would offset any other place in the world.
Not sure where y live but I can’t imagine any place with mild winter climate that’s a better deal than The Villages.
