Personally, we have preferred our visits where we stay at the Lakefront Inn, when we came up for the PBA Pro-AM a couple weeks ago we found out that it was only $20 more a night using AAA to stay in an executive suite, than the AAA price for lake front, and what a room it was. Enormous, looking at the lake, nicely appointment, big bathroom with nice glass shower with several shower heads and a nice deep whirlpool tub I wasn't expecting, and which my body was ready for after the drive, bowling and the long walk from the parking lot to the bowling alley with our gear (only because of the craft fair going on). We don't eat there, but we like to stay there, there internet always works, and we use it extensively when in the villages looking at things. We are partial to other restaurants in the area. I just have to get cinnamon buns and other goodies to take home from toojays.
We are about to come up in August for 1 full week and the rest of the weekends in the month, and we would love to have dinner with a small group of villagers that would be willing to answer questions, etc. This is where we are going to make some decisions so we are ready when our house sells hopefully early next year. Or maybe a meet and greet for coffee at toojays? We will be in the Villages from 8/6 to 8/14 in a rental, so if anyone is interested, let us know and we can set something up (PM). We are renting so we can go to all the open houses for a week in our price range and get a firmer idea of what's out there, and try out some of the neighborhood pools, things like that.
We are so looking forward to finally making this dream come together. I will be 66 In January, my betterhalf is 8 months younger, and will just be turning 65 in August.
Richard and Lee in Tampa, for now.
