Congratulations to all of you! You must be very excited. St. Charles is right near me and a very nice area....everywhere is nice to me in TV. Have fun settling and enjoy the nice warm winter months. No more snow and ice! :cold:

I see you are a member of the North Patchogue FD. I have been a member Of Medford FD since 1978. Moved off the Island in August 2009 but still get back to see everyone. I was in station 1 on Southhaven Ave. We did many mutual aids to you & you did many to us.

What a small world.

That is what I love about The Villages. You are bound to meet a lot of people with whom you have things in common.

This is a special link. Good for you.

We settle on our new home in St. Charles on Dec. 15 and will be moving in Jan. 4. No furniture as of yet, so you know how we will be spending our time. We are on Dutchess Loop. It looks like a lovely neighborhood. It appears to be a very friendly neighborhood as well. We have already met two of our neighbors. Hope to meet you after Jan. 4.

Welcome all to The Villages and it's really great you will all be here for Christmas. If your interseted in snow .. just turn on the weather channel, at least that's what I do. Don't miss it one bit, especially the driving part.
Looks like St. Charles is filling up fast. Enjoy your new homes.

*is jealous* Congrats.

Alas, the wife does not retire unbtil July 2011 and I can't until Nov 2012 (which really is unfair seeing as how, according to the Mayans, the world ends on Dec 21st 2012).

We plan on coming this summer (august) and possibly reserving a lot for building in August 2011, currently our favorite floorplan is the Orchid, but that may change when we see one in real life.

Then in 2011 we'll check the pre-owned prior to letting the house start and, if we don't find anything we like more start the house.

I SOOO want to retire, 41+ years in high stress jobs (military, security) and I'm ready.

My wife and I will retire next June and as soon as we sell our home in New York, we will be in TV. Our closing in Bonita will be on Dec 21, but we won't see the house until Jan 6th. Then again for a week in Feb and a week in April; by that time we should be part owners in Southwest airlines, ha ha. Seriously,we have visited TV 7 times already over the past three years and can't wait to become frogs. We had about 8 inches of snow today and my arms ache tonight from the snowblower! I am sooooo ready to move. The address is 1350 Centerville Place, Bonita - just called SECO today to transfer the electric! See you soon!!!
