Initially I was very homesick. Right away I fell in love with our house (Gardenia) , but I missed my familiar surroundings back in PA so much. As each month passed it got better. As I became more involved so did my attitude. There is so much to in The Villages. Crazy as it seems I also became more content once I found a church, doctors and a dentist. Since we moved here there are now more stores and restaurants. Day trips to Florida attractions have also helped. Now the only thing I really miss is my backyard in Camp Hill. We had a lot of wildlife which I loved watching and feeding.
Good Luck with your decision.
I also grew up in Harrisburg and have been in Mechanicsburg since the 80's. Never lived any place else but TV sure is pulling us. I can understand about feeling more at home once you found church/doc/dentist etc. Just today I had my yearly physical and I asked my doctor "Do you have any colleagues who practice in Florida?" Also, we have a small water garden in our yard and have lots of birds and squirrels. They are fun to watch.

We hope to return to TV at the end of this month for another visit. We're still working on whether it will be a Lifestyle Preview or a private rental. Thanks for your well-wishes and the best to you too.
