My wife and I are just back from our LPP trip; one of the most memorable and informative vacations I've had in a long time. Virtually everything came off without a hitch.
The sales rep was the most interesting and helpful person we could ask for and we enjoyed her company while she explained all that was available in TV.
We used all our gratuities and indulged in a few or our own...and I do mean a massage at Tuscany!
I have to relate one story although I've got a few.
We were visiting the Arnold Palmer Club and the clubhouse was a bit quiet, with a few people (both residents and clubhouse personnel) standing around and shopping. No sooner did we announce why we were there and everyone started to introduce themselves...I mean with personal calling cards and information on all subjects related to moving to and living in TV! It was unbelievable!
I started asking so many questions my wife had to stop me, thinking I was getting too personal.
I mean every question that I brought down with me they answered; the bonds, the banks, electric vs. gas carts, renting, other expenses...everything!
One resident invited us to join her for lunch which we did and took the opportunity to learn as much as possible. We were informed of the history of the development and the future prospects...this was one informed lady!
(The fact that some of the communities are serviced by gas and others by electric was something that never even crossed my mind.)
All in all I'd say that having a rental car and the golf cart allowed us to really get the "lay of the land" and experience the lifestyle much more than visiting with friends.
It was a trip I'm very glad we finally took and our thanks go out to all of you good folks who spoke up so proudly of your new found home and how happy you'd be to welcome us.
