Hello Everyone,

My wife and I just booked our lifestyle preview for the second week in December -- I hope the weather cooperates. We're looking forward to spending some time experiencing all that TV has to offer.

I've spent the last month looking at this site and appreciate the abundance of material it covers. We've got a couple of years before we both can retire but we'd like to get a head start on looking for our next hometown.

I hope we won't be too late to purchase a new home 2 or 3 years from now.

Looking forward to our visit,
Craig

Welcome aboard Craig & Becky. You will love the place. I wish I was there in December to welcome you personally. Enjoy your visit. PS: Warning... The golf cart you will be given is slow.

Craig - Don't forget to bring your checkbook along in December. You just might find something in TV you can't live without!!!

And welcome to TOTV!!!

Craig:

I see this is your first post so to TOTV.

I believe new homes will still be built two or three years down to road but conventional wisdom says to "bring your checkbook".

I'm sure you'll love your time in TV and you may wind up buying.

It's happened before!!!!!!

Hope your visit will be all you hope it to be and more!
Don't forget to view a sunset or two.... they are wonderful here!

Welcome & enjoy all this wonderful place has to offer!

Welcome!

Heed the advice from the posters. Bring your checkbook, or a direct line to your financial advisor! Happened that way to us last year. Who would have thunk it.......

Hi there,
I'm scheduled for my Lifestyle Preview Visit beginning Tuesday, 11/1. Only five days to go for me and I can't wait. I've spent the past 2 years reading all the great info on this site and feeling the warmth of everyone. As soon as I can retire, I will be a villager. No matter who I contacted on this board, they were quick to respond and do whatever they possibly could do to take me under their wing for my one-week visit. So go ahead and ask away, you won't be disappointed in the response you'll get.

Have fun!

Hello Tom,
How can you be so sure that it will be slow? Is it because they are gas? because they are old? because they don't trust new people speeding?

Will I get a ticket for going too slow? Will I get some ugly looks from those who wished I had stayed home with my slow golf cart? Yikes!

Yamaha carts come from the factory set to only run around 13 mph. The Villages Golf Cart store just leaves them set that way.

No tickets for going slow. Just wave to everyone as they pass you.............and don't be in too big of a hurry!!

We booked our LSV a few weeks ago for mid-January. Does anyone know when you get the exact address?

The day you check in, unless it has changed.
