As a permanent resident of a vacation destination and a villages snowbird I have met more than my share of both sort of folks! Just glad I'm not in a rush to go anywhere!
Amen about "not in a rush to go anywhere"----life is too short so enjoy! unfortunately, we can't go back to the way TV was 10 years ago. With or without snowbirds, and snowflakes (I think they come in the winter and rent) brace for more people and more traffic.

Large groups at TV restaurants are very noisy and sometimes down right obnoxious. Most restaurants are not prepared for large groups. We are thinking twice about going out to dinner with a group that size unless they breakup into a small groups at the restaurant.

It's difficult to even have a "decent" conversation because there seems to be three or four who try to laugh the loudest or "mouth" the most for attention.
