Did others have the mixed emotions I'm experiencing? I'm excited to finally being able to get in my villa and make it my home. But I find I'm noticing the things I like about where I live now. I've had my pet sitter since 2000. Publix is closer to me than it will be up there. I have a great dentist and good doctor.

Still, I have researched and for me as a single person, the activities and opportunities TV offers seemed to make it a good choice. I have a great neighbor up there who helped me by keeping an eye on the place. Everyone else I've met in the neighborhood has been welcoming and friendly.

Still all this packing, sorting, discarding on one's own is hard.
....I wake up in the middle of the night wondering what the heck I'm doing.....

You are not alone, there are plenty of people feeling the way that you do. My husband and I are 2 of those people. As we are moving from the UK to TV we often think about all the things that you do, the "right" & "wrong", "should I", "shouldn't I" but we have come to conclusion if we do not follow our dreams and take all the chances "good" or "bad" that come with it we are not being honest with ourselves nor giving it a real chance and then left to wonder what may have been. We too have sorted, discarded, and yet to have packed (must wait on contract exchange) and we think what the heck are we doing?! At the end of the day you must follow your heart and your dreams and whatever will be will be. At least that is what we plan to do anyway........Good luck and all the best to you x
