We're Beverly & Gary, guardedly optimistic about moving into our Villages (Santo Domingo) home after scheduled closing on 11/30/09.
After visiting TV back in June on the 1 week program - we were sold on moving down here ASAP. A couple reasons for our sort of sudden decision to move from MA to TV: 1) I was laid off from my job in Waltham in April after 28.5 years of service, 2) She's originally from FL (Orlando) and has been trying seriously to get me to move south back to her home turf for about 5 years, after living up north for about 8.5 years. Well losing my job was just the final nudge we needed to get away from nasty New England winters once and for all; now we're both looking forward to diving right into that Villages lifestyle (lots of golf and activities) and picking up part time jobs (Gary: Engineer, Bev: Real Estate and Small Business background); perhaps in totally different areas - we'll have to see what opportunities develop!
We have plenty of questions as newbies and will be digging through this board for answers/opinions and asking TV experts out there for input. We've got a heavy-duty busy week ahead, packing up everything, driving down and starting the next phase of our lives - only regret so far is we'll be arriving there a week too late to see Glen Beck (we're thinking, he'll probably be back - he knows where to find the best & brightest folks); hopefully some of you folks out there will post comments following his upcoming visit.
That's about all for now,
Bev & Gary
