My wife and I are planning to take a lifestyle visit soon (probably April) and we will be able to judge for ourselves whether the Villages lifestyle is for us (will take less persuading for me than for the misses I'm afraid). However it is obvious to me that a 5 or 6 day visit with all the freebies you get, will quite possibly offer a rather unrealistically positive view. For example, practically every time we go on a vacation we fall in love with the area and feel we would love to live there full or part time - after all, who doesn't have fun on vacation?
I have spent a lot of time on TOTV the last month and have learned a lot, while feeling I have virtually (literally) gotten to know some of you well. Almost everyone on TOTV is wildly positive about the villages, but that stands to reason -- who is going to spend time on a site about a place they are ambivalent about or downright dislike?
So my question, at last: Do you really feel that the vast majority of people in the Villages seem as pleased with it as you do? Do you think the regular contributors to TOTV offer a good and representative cross-section of TV or a skewed view to the positive? I am not trying to start a war of words, but the TV view on this site is very rosy, and I am trying to get a balanced view. Thanks! Ed
