Just like senior citizen, in our youth, raising our children, our destination was usually Florida for summer vacation. That would include Disney and a stay on the beach. So over the years we visited many places in Florida and liked them for vacation.

I never felt drawn to live in Florida, it was too touristy and there would be unequal care it appeared of homes in developments. Some looked nice and others not so nice. There were the hurricanes and the bugs. It just never felt like a place I would want to LIVE in year' round.

We loved the golf side best and we are so glad we can go there for day trips. Hmmmm we have lived here for six years and only visited St.Pete beach once, the day we drove our granddaughter to Tampa airport, we lunched on the beach.

We visited The Villages quite by accident and we both felt it was TOO good to be true. Well it isn't.
