We have made a reservation for an official Preview Visit for 6 nights in October. If my wife is ever going to accept the idea of moving there, this visit in October better be a “Home Run”. I really need to prepare for this trip. I happy to read the summary versions of successful Preview Visits and I understand what is available during a visit. I have nightmares about the classic “Deer in the Headlights” scenario that we will get there and look at each other and say “Now what”.

This may be asking a lot, but I would like to hear a detail trip report from someone that has recently gone to a Preview Visit. I would like to hear everything from the check-in through check-out. What they did every day. What they liked. What they didn’t like. What they would do over if they could.

Thanks

It's a great place to start, and when in doubt, go online and make a reservation at the local Bonefish Restaurant! Always great.

Lee and Richard in Tampa, and frequent visitors to the Villages, for now.
