Luckily we didn't have the problem you have of selling your furniture as we still have our home in England but I'm sure once it is all over you will be so thrilled to have bought in The Villages.
We arrive back on the 9th November and then have all the usual jobs of sorting out the phone/internet connection/TV and having to buy our driving licence again. That's the trouble when we are snowbirds from the UK - our licence only lasts till the end of the stamp on our passport - just another way of making money from us but we're so happy to pay it just to be there!

It's true, I am very pleased with the Villa I bought. I am not familiar with the Anna Marie, so I will make it a point to look up the floor plan. Speaking of selling my furniture and moving to the Villages, once this is all over - I had something very odd happen to me today. The man who is to pack me, move me, drive my car to Florida along with my pets came today to start packing. He arrived with two other men, at 9:15 AM and started right in. At 10:15 AM, he said they were leaving to go for breakfast (which I thought was rather odd). He left and never came back. I am in a state of shock. Half of my good China is packed up, the contents of one closet and that's it. They left the wardrobe boxes and some other "dish pack" boxes right where they left them. In fact, when I looked around it was apparent that the man who was packing my china, was in the middle of wrapping a bowl and never even completed it. I just don't know what to think. . . I have called his cell phone twice and have not heard back from him. I thought they must had had an accident, but I am beginning to have my doubts. I can't imagine what happened. I am hoping I will hear from him tomorrow. If he doesn't return my calls, I will need to line someone else up and start this whole process over again. I am closing next Friday and this is really cutting things close. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I am at a loss for words & pretty upset at the moment.
