Thanks Jack! There are a lot of Canucks and Brits in TV. However we all have to maintain residences in our home countries since we are limited (by the U.S. Government) to spending less than 182 days in the USA in any calendar year. I think our outlook is a little different than Frogs. We always get really excited when it is our time to travel to The Villages. It's always a welcome destination to avoid the ice, snow and rotten winter weather. We would stay longer than six months if the US Government would let us. And as Bluedog said, having a small lot isn't a problem if you have a second home up north.

It always amazes me how many resale homes are available in NEWER areas. Some with pools and summer kitchens and many improvements. Obviously people intended to spend a lot of time there and poured a lot of money into improvements. I doubt all the owners could be selling for medical reasons. I always wonder at the back stories of these homes.
