Default visiting goes both ways

we expect to have friends and family visit, and also hope to be invited to visit them. Several couples we know are currently looking for retirement homes, and I am sure they will not all end up in The Villages. We think that's fine, always fun to travel ourselves. One already has a summer cottage in northern Wisconsin (still working) and we plan to visit them this summer. Another couple may end up in Tennessee as that will be a day's drive to where their kids live. We're looking forward to friends living in other retirement (or non-retirement) communities. We think the Villages is the best for us, but variety is the spice of life!

We will encourage them to rent their own golf cart for the weekend/week. I've also decided it's too generous (except for our kids/grandkids) for us to offer to pick them up at an airport if they're not driving. Once was enough of that. They can rent a car or take the shuttle - I'll be happy to pick them up at either Spanish Springs or Lake Sumter Landing!
