2010Mustang, If you contact The Villages Sales office, I'm sure they will be glad to tell you about the Lifestyle Preview Visits. I'm a younger wannabee, and I haven't been on a Lifestyle visit yet, but I have been to TV 3 times, rented twice in 2011, and I will be back in June to rent again for 8 days.
TOTV is an excellent resource to read and ask questions about moving to and living in TV. I have learned so much about TV by reading this forum. Don't hesitate to post questions as there are many wise TV veterans who will give good information.
