We were there for 5 days, during which we spent time exploring and looking at new homes. Hubby didn't say much, even when I (stupidly!) suggested we go to the driving range in the middle of the day. Last night he confessed that he agreed to go to TV with me because I would see that it's not all it's cracked up to be. After saying that, he said that he has had a change of heart...that it would be a great place to retire! This morning, as he left for the office he stopped while getting into his car, looked around and said "I can't wait til we get rid of all of this and move to Florida." yaaaaay. Thank you to everyone that made our visit fun. We'll be seeing you!

Trish, I purposely planned my first visit to TV last year (stayed in Comfort Suites hotel on 441 with friends) and this year (renting a villa in Chatham) in July to see how I would deal with the heat and humidity. So your plan to visit in July was smart. I knew I would not have a problem with TV's weather in January, but wasn't sure about the summer months since I will need to be a full-timer if I relocate to TV. Hope you find the house of your dreams in TV.
