This is zapping a little bit of my joy and excitement of moving to the TV next week - although I knew they would be saddened (I am too), I thought they would be more supportive of my move, and of course I have a guest room for friends to visit, and will be flying back to Colorado a few times a year to visit them and spend Thanksgiving. Would like to hear any comments from those of you, and how you handled the move away from friends to TV.

We were fortunate enough to be able to have a home in TV as well as rural Western NY, thereby maintaining our lifelong friendships and WNY lifestyle. While it is very easy to make friends in TV, I suspect what you may miss more is the sheer beauty of Colorado, its change of seasons and its absence of bugs (especially love bugs). Florida is a very flat state (basically a large sandbar) with no real change in seasons other than temperature, which goes from "jungle hot" during it's long summer season to more comfortable most other times. If you are OK living in enclosed air conditioned spaces for six months out of the year you should do well.
