Back from our Lifestyle Visit
 
We came, we saw, we bought!

My apologies to everybody. You know who you are! I said I would call you while we were in the Villages, but the hours and days just got away from us. One day just blurred into another, and the next thing I knew we were at the Orlando airport on the way back to Utah.

We'll have a chance to get together after we finally arrive for real. Thanks to everybody for your kindness and generosity. :-*

you came, you saw, you bought.... let's all hope you didn't get hosed like the family with a train roaring through their bedroom daily.

uujudy,
me too. I came, I saw, I bought this past spring. Didn't know I was going to do that. Now can't wait to get there. Of course, I need to retire first. Sept 26 - 6 weeks and counting. Whew!!!! I'm mostly a lurker on this website, but feel I almost know so many people already. Now I just have to sell up here in the Northeast. If not, then plan B - rent out my house up here in the Northeast. One way or another. EEE Gads

That's great - congratulations - sounds like you are excited and ready to go. We've been back from our Lifestyle Preview for only 9 days now, and it seems like a month. We came, we saw, we loved, but it will be a long time and a lot of thought before we buy! I am probably the most conservative person I know, and need lots of time and research before I make that kind of a lifestyle decision. And even after the time and research, I'll still probably have some buyer's remorse. But anyway, I'm jealous of you and hope it all works out. Above all, I know for certain that TV is a great place, and that almost anyone can find good reasons to buy. I just need some time and maybe a push from my significant other . . .

Someone else said they were conservative but I hold on so tight to a dime it screams. BUT we came, we saw, we bought and yes I had three days of omigosh omigosh omigosh what did we do and THEN since April we have been on cloud nine. We have spent a total of 19 or 20 days in our new house in Hadley getting it ready and furnishing it...........Now we are waiting to live and to play in November.

Here is a big hug. Welcome to Paradise!! :welcome: :welcome:

Hey, that's wonderful! Congratulations!!! We don't know anything about Lifestyle Previews (never took one); in fact, the first and only time we took the trolley tour was when friends were visiting and they wanted to take it, so we joined them. We just came, I experienced the lightning bolt in my head with its accompanying message ('This IS the rainy day!'), and following a ton of research we bought a marvelous resale only weeks later. Never looked back! You will not be disappointed, uujudy!

Congratulations & Welcome. The skiing is a little better at Deer Valley but The Villages can't be beaten! Get down here before the snow flies.

Congrats uujudy!! The same thing happened to us in May! And we'll be on our way on the 26th! We'll see you soon!

Well Collie1228 there's nothing wrong with taking your time and giving it some thought. My wife and I were down here the same time you were. My wife who stated she would NEVER want to live in a retirement comunity decided that she loves The Villages (I figured she would) and was ready to buy last month. I like The Villages but I have about 15 months until I retire and I certainly am not yet ready to buy just yet.

Congratulation uujudy on you purchase. :bigthumbsup:

Congratulations UUJUDY. :clap2: :clap2: We made our first 6 day life style visit last October We have rented a house for 3 weeks this October for our second visit. Can't wait to to be back and will be looking at homes and enjoying TV again. Our home will go up for sale in September so we can buy in TV. Going to attend the luncheon at Crispers to meet you fine people and hope our return for good is soon?

We're hoping to be back in October. I would love to meet you all at the Crisper's luncheon. That would be October 17th? Is that right? The third Friday of the month?
Thanks again for all your good wishes!

I bet you'll say (like us) "It's the best decision we've ever made".
