Where do villagers go for the summer?

Obviously, that's why we are called permanent. Of course we do take vacations, just as anyone who lives wherever would do during the summer. If you want to stay somewhat local and head out for 4 days or so, Amelia Island, Savannah, Disney, Gulf Coast, South Florida, Panhandle are all good choices.

We vacation in Arizona to get away from the summer heat....

I had always heard about 50%.

And, us FROGS take vacations to the same places everyone else does.

I think It's below 60%. Snowbirds start to leave first of April, we stay til end of June then go up north. You start to see increase in September, by November TV is booming.

We prefer to stay right here, but seem to always have to leave to visit the children and grandchildren up North, and apart from seeing the family, I am bored to death. I usually find the weather is hot and humid, the bugs are big enough to carry you off, and the lack of air conditioning is very noticeable!

We don't travel unless we really have to ....................... However, by the time the end of August arrives I am ready for a break from the Florida heat and that is when I like to be on the road.

Going back to a thread from six months ago. I asked our meteorology department to track The Villages weather for a two-week period last summer. The heat index exceeded Phoenix, almost everyday. I’ll take 100 in Phoenix over 80 in TV, any day of the week. It really is the humidity that makes a day go from uncomfortable to unbearable. TV, or Central FL, is the last place I want to spend the hottest part of the summer. Thankfully, God blessed me with the ability and resources to get away for a few weeks. As for places to go? Any place further north of the equator than FL.

Too bad more people don't feel this way. Say hi to Phoenix for me. Don't forget to take a friend.
