We love it and it is definitely more than we expected. More friends than we ever thought possible and so many laughs and good times. I've never used a callendar so much in my life to keep activities and appointments straight.

We tend to skip lunch and eat dinner much earlier or after 7 when the birds are here. I truly think this winter was much worse than last year (our first) because of all the new building south of Pennecamp and no new amenities except Bonifay. No new executive courses built created a nightmare trying to get tee-times. Restaurants more crowded but should subside as 466A and 44 develop. Crowds create tension and bad manners and it was more evident this year especially on the roads. It's probably because the birds and renters are trying to cram in as much fun as they can in a shorter time which is understandable but not necessary. Crowds here and waits for amenities are still less than what we had to deal with back in Massachusetts and we're retired, so what's the rush.
