I recommend that you take a Trolley Tour (45 minute ride that leaves from the sales office at Lake Sumter Landing). Ask question of the residents that you meet -- most are very happy to answer questions about The Villages.  |
Thanks for the welcome. You folks down there are so friendly.
The wife and I both worked for Eastern Airlines for almost 20 years each so we love people watching and the squares seem to be the best places.
I think I saw a video on You-Tube of someone filming on the trolley tour and it gave some interesting facts about the place so we will be sure to go on it.
Plan on asking the residents we meet a lot of questions but having looked on TOTV for a couple of years I kinda get the gist of the feelings people have about TV. I love the suggestions to the people that are negative that if they don't like it they can leave anytime. Ha, ha. So far, during the trips we have been down there, we met a lot of snowbirds that were just down for the winter. Nice folks but not summer veterans who we would really like to meet. Like to know how they "beat the heat" in the summer.
Our feeling right now is one of high anticipation for the preview. We plan on using the Golf Car exclusively and leaving the SUV parked until we leave. Hopefully, the noise from the gas Golf Car won't scare the cat and we can take him around with us. Couldn't have kids thus no grandkids so we only have our cat to spoil. Kind of a kid in a cat suit that we take everywhere. Call us nuts but he loves it and so do we.
