Sometimes it's good to on vacation. Not just to visit family and friends (fun, not necessarily relaxing) but a separate trip as a pure getaway. It's amazing that living in "vacationland " would require a need to escape but crazy enough, it's a blast.

The problem here, if you want to call it a problem, is that retirement living is a fulltime job with no days off

A standing joke with my friends is that when my wife and I take an occasional cruise (5 last year) I take the time to work on my book "Do Retirees Go On Vacation"

I agree with the previous posters, The villages awards us all with numerous activities and we can be as busy as we want to be. We have friends that have to fill up their calendar with so many activities. Not complaining or criticizing if that is what you do, but that is not for us. We enjoy a less active lifestyle and so happy that we have found this place where we can enjoy our retirement.
