Thanks in advance

If you are thinking about buying, get the paper each morning and over coffee decide what open houses to view. We did the morning (10:00-12:00) and afternoon (2:00-4:00) open houses. It gives you a good feel for the different models. Check the Sun for daily activities. Also, check the entertainment listings on TV website (
www.thevillages.com) 2-3 weeks before your visit. If there are any shows, etc. at the Savannah Center you'd like to attend, try to get your tickets early as if you wait until your visit, chances are they will be sold out.
If you are renting through TV and have an assigned salesperson, get them to take you to the area where the models homes are located (if they still have that area). As was mentioned in another post, just introduce yourself and ask if the folks live there and see if they have time for a few questions. Didn't now about TOTV during our first 4 visits, but you can get a lot from the various forums here!! Eat at a different Country Club for lunch and/or dinner. We really enjoyed sampling the different fares as each have different entrees. OH, catch the sunset on Lake Sumter from the area off Morse Blvd, at the bridge. Soothing and a good sample of life at TV. . .calming, relaxing and pinch yourself each morning to remind yourself you aren't dreaming. It is real.
Before you go, decide what questions or concerns you have and then ask people in person. You get lots of feedback here, but face-to-face is always better. IMO. Our visits are for a week too. Darn it those are the fastest weeks of our lives!!
Good to see another "southern boy" interested in TV!! Yahoo!!
OH, if you are there over the third weekend, they have a classic car cruise-in at Spanish Springs. Some fine rides on exhibit!!
