This is a hard question. The first time we "visited" was January 1, 2000. We drove up there from WDW for a half day. Unfortunately, the sales office in SS was closed so we just did a self tour. We had known about the Villages at that time since about 1996 and had received a VHS tape or two from them. I am now 57 and we are planning to retire there n 2013. We took a preview tour this past April and stayed at the Waterfront Inn in July. So, by the time we move there we will have been anticipating this move for 17 years.
