Snowbirds are merely vacationers, renter snowbirds are tourists.

Harold Schwartz never intended the Villages to be like this. Snowbirds should be shunned by all true full-time residents.
So what if the snowbird is staying just over 6 months in the Villages? Are they still "vacationing" in Florida? Why wouldn't you say that they are vacationing up north and are residents that are on an extended summer vacation? I wonder if the neighbors of their 2nd home up north moan when they return in the summer and celebrate them leaving in the fall?
