The good news is I won't be one of your snow birds. My new home is in the Daytona Beach area. I don't think TV is a bad place. It's just not for me.

Sadly I'm giving up on my dream of meeting Jennifer Parr. Oh well. You can't have everything.

This forum has been a wealth of information and source of an occasional laugh or two.

I wish all of you luck in getting your Costco.
I'm in the same boat you were before you decided on Daytona. About 3 years ago, I toured all over Florida looking for my dream retirement location. Nothing seemed to compare to the Villages with a swimming pool on every corner, endless list of activities, quaint town centers with nightly live entertainment, not to mention it's location far enough inland to avoid most of the hurricanes. I came out and stayed at TV for a month the following year, and again this past year to make sure it's the right place, as it will likely be my last move.

I assume you were looking for something similar to the features of TV, otherwise it wouldn't have taken you so long, so may I ask what you found in Daytona that compares? Thank you.
