we're another couple who finds that the biggest thing wrong with the villages is that it is too far from new jersey!

and as for being snowbirds rather than frogs - not a problem - we love our winter reunions with our frog friends - i don't think we eat home for a week! we spend the summer at the jersey shore so we know all about the reputations of part-time residents [we call them bennies because they come here for the benefits of sun, sand and surf!] - we are invaded between memorial day and labor day - problem is we don't get to meet a lot of them and the ones we do meet are rarely here for more than a two week vacation. i have NO qualms about returning to my florida real estate and adapting my life to its wintertime cycle! and to those that DO complain about us snowbirds returning i simply reply "pfft!" or suggest that they find another community.
