I was working in Port Clinton, Ohio and was counselling a woman about her prescriptions that she had just transferred from a pharmacy in Florida. I told her that my wife and I were thinking about retiring to the Mt. Dora area in Florida. Well, she just started going on and on and on about The Villages and what a friendly place it was. That night went I got home I checked it out on the internet. I fell in love with the place without ever seeing it. A few months later we flew down to Orlando and started looking around. After a week of wasting time with realtors, we drove up to the villages and took the tour. We bought a CYV the next day.
