We often invited our friends and family from Wisconsin to come down to TV on several occasions and even offered to pay thier Air fare believe it or not.

Answer always...No Way, not for us !
Alot of folks perceived our giddiness over TV as " Bragging Rights " and they could of cared less about Florida, much less The Villages lifestyle.

We ultimately decided not to disclose to strangers that we lived there, we just state that we are from the Central Fl area if anyone asks us now.

It is so sad but true, we had some wonderful times there ...15 years ago....

We have been here since June of 2005 and I still like the Villages. Mainly because we got very lucky with our neighbors.
