This should be just a
fun question and I hope to just get some
fun answers.
I'm a
Connecticut Yankee who moved to Maine when I retired. I'm told that I can never call myself a "
Mainer" because I'm from "away," I wasn't born in Maine.
I come to The Villages in late October and return to Maine in late April and I call myself a
Seasonal Resident, in part because I don't like the term
Snowbird.
Do you think there is a differentiation between those terms? I've heard and come to take up these definitions:
Snowbird - Someone who owns or rents in The Villages and visits for one to three months, usually during the months of January to March.
Seasonal Resident - Someone who owns, and does not rent, in The Villages and visits, seasonally, for five, six or more months during the months of October thru May.
What do you think?
