[Villages Kahuna]

...stay where we were, or move into a senior community, in north suburban Chicago. Nah! Why do that and continue to put up with frigid winters, dirty snow and increasing traffic.

Then there was Tucson. We liked it there, but in the end we decided we weren't "desert people". There's also the blockage of every road south of Tucson by the feds trying to catch northbound illegal immigrants (they try, but aren't very successful) and the water problem. That and it gets doggone cold in January and February in the desert.

We only visited TV once, for the five-day lifestyle experience program. When we came the second time we were serious about buying a house. We worked hard for four days looking at new and pre-owned homes with a superb Villages sales rep. We bought a new Lantana in Mallory Square in June, 2006 and moved down in October.
