Default getting outside the bubble

if you're coming for 6 months, you should be getting a resident guest pass. Look into the clubs, join a couple you might have an interest in, and sign up for their trips, some by charter bus, some by carpool. Some groups have trips frequently (birders for one).

Would think just pay your share to carpool and would be ok. Ask everyone you see at the pools what stuff they do and see what sounds like fun to you.

Look into the singles groups. There's a link to the Recreation News on thevillagesdailysun.com website. There's also a Babyboomers group if you're the right age.

Sometimes there will be ads in the paper about special trips. Last year we went to a Florida Gators baseball game - think there were 3 free buses. Of course, we like college baseball. In winter there are trips to Gaylord Palms Ice Sculpture thing. Probably current residents have more ideas. I'm still living in Ohio most of the time, but not for long!
