Thanks to all. Funny the trolley was something I had no interest in at ALL. Ironic that moved to the 1st thing I'll likely do.

What a great site....always get fantastic 1st hand help/advise!!!

No matter what town hubby and I visit, if there is a Trolley available we ALWAYS take it! As someone stated, it is a great way to get acclimated!

Thanks to all Back from my trip......TOO short but had a great time. Didn't get to even half the things I had hoped. Absolutely the trolley should be the 1st thing on any newbies list . Just wanted to put a big thank you back out here to all for the help. I'll be referring back to this thread for the next visit, hopefully I can get to some of the other stuff on here. I can tell you I won't be making any more visits that short

I hope you enjoyed your visit. Please tell us about it.

BTW - I would have said, "don't blink your eyes or your visit will be over before you know it".

Try renting a home for a month if you have the time. Also, visit the rec centers just to see how beautiful they are.

I did the Lifestyle Preview and was only here for 4 days, not a week?

So, I had an absolute fantastic time. Agree with some things I've read here. It's just impossible to describe. Did it meet my expectations? Well not really cause it's just so different than I could imagine. The 1st thing I would say is it is so much bigger than I expected. I was just so impressed with all aspects!!!! As I said we stayed at TownPlace Suites. Great location for a 1st visit. We rented a golf cart from Grandpa and Grandma's. We never used the car the whole time there. We went to the town square concert every night and caught the sales event at Spanish Springs one night and LSL another. For sure the Trolley ride was the most informative thing we did. I loved getting my Dunkin Donut coffee every morning and grabbing the paper. Made it to Cal's the 1st morning for a haircut. Wow that was a hoppin' spot. We did a few open houses on 2 of the days. And we did a lot of just driving around exploring. My girlfriend loves to lay out by the pool and we were just running too much so she only spent maybe 2 hours out by the pool the whole stay. We will be back 100% for sure and it won't be for 3-4 days. So many things I thought we'd do that we just didn't have time for. Didn't eat at a country club, didn't visit a rec. center, and didn't eat at one of the restaurants over looking Lake Sumter. Think the girlfriends Mom is coming for the next visit. Thanks again to all for all the recommendations!!! We just had such a great time. Until next visit

Do not come here. If you do you remaining years of work will seem to be an eternity.
