It was really touch and go there for awhile as to whether we would be able to keep our appointment, but we will be arriving a day earlier on January 23 to settle in and check into the new Villa's over in the village of Pinellas. We have been reading most of the posts you been writing for months, and we can't wait to meet some of you and enjoy our new fun lifestyle. I hope we will be accepted since we are not in 209, 210 or 215. We will be building on lot 52 in Section 214 at 3293 Vicksburg Ave. I would like to get on your list I heard that A-4 has been doing, and the mayor and many others (including the infamous "hotrodgirl") sound like a lot of fun. Just can't wait, and would love to maybe say hi while we are down there between January 23-28. Thanks all.
Marcy and Bruce Snell
Marcy and Bruce, Welcome to The Villages and Congratulations on your design appointment. It is a very exciting time. You will find the people of GillyLand very kind and welcoming to all. We actually have a home in The Village of Sanibel and have been included in some activities such as New Years. Unfortunately, we are not yet there full time, but feel like we have made many friends already. We wont be there when you are doing your design meeting, but we have been through it all before. We built an Iris, and are very pleased. Should you have any questions before your design meeting, just drop me a line, would be happy to share our experience. Good luck.
Linda and Rich

Hi Bruce & Marcy! No worries about being accepted here! Section 214 is still in Gilchrist so you'll be a native of GillyLand!
Even if you weren't building in one of the gilly sections, you'd still be welcome. We've adopted several "non-natives" and that has worked out quite well for us. We've had three people trade lots from Fernindina to GillyLand just because we're so much fun!
One of the traders is even a Deflocker Flucker (see A-4 Skyhawk for a complete explanation).
But, we were very lucky to get him, his beautiful spouse and charming MIL.
As you might have gathered, we have quite a cast of characters living here with a touch of international flavor and landed gentry from across the pond. Their presence just spices things up for the rest of us. We also have our infamous (HotRodGirl) and the low key (Me!).
Please let us know when you get settled and we will definitely have a GillyBration so you can met us...one and all...
