We stayed at the Waterfront Inn for the second time. We have also done one LPP and made one other w/end get-away, all visits since September. It turns out that we met a couple of couples who were checking out TV for the first time.

It's amazing what one learns w/out realizing it.

As a result of my regular lurking on the TOTV and of thorough on-line property research, I answered every inquiry, provided info and resource referrals (Yes...Of course, I touted the TOTV website and some of you Sages), and shared obscure tidbits such as the location of a cemetery in TV, which came as a surprise to an eavesdropping TV realtor.

I found myself serving as an informed TV Ambassador, and I don't even live there!!

Anyway, the main point of this thread is to thank you all- from the Host to the newest junior member- for making TOTV what it is. One simply never knows to whom or how your collective information will be beneficial.

Oh, I do have one inquiry:
Many of you out there are snowbirds but being from SoFla where the winter is warmer than it is in TV, meaning that I simply cannot relate to those of you who revel in leaving your winter climes for the "warmth" of TV , in the event that wifey and I eventually buy in TV, would we become sunbirds?
What a nice, friendly, complimentary post.

You could also be birds of paradise!

Welcome...Return often new friend!!
