Would love some good, honest feedback.
This is Snowbird season. All Florida is stuffed to capacity. We are seasonal residents, contributing to the lineups, traffic congestion, and wait times. Having said that, in the last ten days we've golfed twice, eaten out numerous times, and hung out a lot with good friends.

Once you live here permanently, I bet you'll be encouraged by neighbors to participate in local events. You'll make more friends and have more fun than you have ever imagined. I hope you give TV another look because where you decide to spend your golden years is critical to your good health and emotional well being.

I'm so sorry that you feel disappointed. But based on my experience, ten days is not enough time to make new friends and establish new relationships. I hear from my Froggie friends that during the summer months, there will be lots of opportunities to have ready access to restaurants, golf and recreation activities. By April or May, most Snowbirds will have flown north and The Bubble will be reclaimed by Frogs.

Until Fall when the chill winds start blowing.
