Thanks Asian, we have had some fun, especially my wife. I'm doing OK, can even drive some now.With my daughter here now, I believe the rest of the week will likely involve more shopping, so I'll be at the house slowly packing.

I do greatly appreciate all of the kindness on this site. It really helped a lot at a time of need. I also enjoy the wacky sense of humor of several regular posters here. Not to name any names, Gracie.

My main concern is this stupid storm moving out of the way by Friday so we can get through the northern part of the state.

Don't know if we'll ever be back this way or not. Since this was our first trip, it was kind of overwhelming, and I wasn't at my best. We did look at lots of houses here and several other communities. I probably had mixed reviews for every community we looked at including the villages. We are one or two years away from my wife retiring. We're not even sure Florida is for us yet.

I found the experience pretty overwhelming just because it is so different than we are used to and it's hard to know where to start in considering everything. I envy those of you who have been able to make several trips. I even kind of envy those of you who just bought a house on the first trip. I'm not the sort of person who would ever do that, but for you, the decision is made and you're on the getting adjusted. I some ways that would be easier.

Best of luck to you all.

Dave
