Default Just back from our Villages visit and all I have to say is...

you people are spoiled rotten!!! And now, we want to be spoiled too!!!

So, the plan is to get the house ready for showing, sell it, DH will retire and we'll be on our way to becoming Villagers! Hopefully, by next October we'll be there permanently.

Honestly, I've never seen such a beautiful "town." Everyone always talks about how beautiful Disney is, but they have nothing on The Villages. Living in The Villages would be like living in a park--a beautiful, well maintained, perfectly manicured park!! The homes were gorgeous, and people everywhere were very friendly. We did find a home that I was reluctant to leave. If we were in the market that house would have been ours. It had everything we will be looking for. I'm just hopeful that we'll find something similar when we are ready to buy.

The people we met and spoke with seemed very happy and were more than willing to share their thoughts and experiences of The Villages. WE didn't meet a single grouch in the entire week we were there. Except for me, that is. I had a project due right in the middle, so had to work a few hours. But, that will be my life when we move, so I guess you could call it a true Lifestyle Visit!

I got a kick out of the golf carts. I mean, I knew about them, but it is something else to see for yourself!

My only complaint was those darned roundabouts! They certainly are better than having stop signs every 500 feet, but I was getting dizzy going 'round and 'round! LOL!

So, we had a successful visit and cannot wait to get there permanently! I'm sure that as the time gets closer, I'll have lots of questions. For now, I just keep looking at homes for sale and dreaming of the day we'll be in a position to actually buy one!
