coloradotim, Glad you enjoyed your lifestyle preview visit. You were wise to visit in August to see how you could handle the heat. I have visited The Villages several times in the summer, most recently in early July, for that same reason. I have decided I prefer Florida's weather in July to Chicago's weather in January! Best of luck to you and keep reading TOTV if you are considering a move to The Villages in the future. It is an excellent source of information, especially for wannabees and gonnabees!
