We had already scheduled a visit and had starting making arrangement for a 3 month rental. Now, we are rethinking our trip and will be cancelling everything. We don't want to spend 3 months knowing that people will be talking about us behind our back. Sorry for the rant.
Speaking as a Seasonal Resident, (six months Nov-May), we always feel very welcome when we return to TV. You are doing yourselves a real disservice if you cancel your scheduled visit due to a few negative comments on TOTV. I believe that the vast majority of Villagers like the friendship and vitality that snowbirds bring!
