We'll come to FL and rent for a couple of months in subsequent years, but for now we're just enjoying being here. Nothing against TV...it's a great place to live IF you're really into it. Personally, we just couldn't make the necessary adjustments to be really happy there. We DO miss our friends...but they'll ALWAYS be our friends and we'll be back to visit.

Congratulations Geraldine .. you sound happy and relieved to be back home in Michigan. I think your post is important because we rarely hear on TOTV from people who have sold their houses in TV and moved back home. TV is paradise for a lot of people, but not for everyone.
I love TV and my friends here with a passion. But I honestly wouldn't want to live here 100% of the time. Being a seasonal resident is perfect for us. I am always super excited when it is October and time to leave Canada to travel to TV for the winter. When we first bought in TV, I hated to leave my new friends each Spring. But now I've grown accustomed to the routine. I'm happy to return to our other existence in April, and catch up with lifelong friends and family. We love the cooler summers in Canada, living on a lake, and enjoying the "wide open" spaces. And best of all, now we have TV friends that travel north to spend time with us in the summer!
