Hi--My SO's sis & I will be visiting for 3 days beginning 9/7 (unless Hanna & her friends have other plans! I will bring fins if it's going to be really wet!)

I'd like to do more than just look at houses & the shops on the squares...any suggestions?
MY SO can't come along becuz he's working but he lives to golf, so thought I'd ck out some courses...recommendations? His sis likes to line dance, so imagine she'll find the venues. I would be interested in cooking clubs (hence the moniker), book clubs, the dragon boat club interests me too.

We are apparently getting serious abt. moving...probly Feb. or March at the earliest.

Thanks in advance; you sound on the forums like a good bunch.

It will be hard to go to any club activities during your 3 day visit. Here's what we did and we fell we got the most out of our 4 day visit: We took advantage of all the free meals. You will love Katie Bells. We golfed 2 days, hit the squares at night.... and looked at homes....before we knew it our time was up and we headed home.... that was a year ago. Now we live here.

I've said this before... If you decide to move to TV, RENT a home for 3 to 6 mos. Get a feel for the different villages, styles of homes etc. There is sooooo much to learn. You'll love it.

Come down. Hang out. Ask people about things. You really can't go to the clubs to participate unless you are a VILLAGER, but, your rep can take you by and you can peek in and see how nice they are. We bought in May and we have only lived in our home 19 days, there are so many choices of things to do, it's dizzying. Just think, 1000 special interest clubs and activities and 29 Executive courses and 9 Championship courses, and myriad pools, tennis courts....and on and on.

Welcome to Paradise. It is REALLY too good to be true.

Thanks to both of you for the tips. Would anyone else care to direct me to which golf course(s) I should explore kinda scope out for Frank (my SO)?

We'll be staying in Lake Sumter and I'd like to concentrate on areas below 466 for possible living options...anyone care to share?

The way Ike is shaping up, I may turn this into a 4-? visit!!

Thanks again.

Palmer Legends. Try to get to the Orange Blossem CC Pool... You'll feel like your at a Carribbean resort. Have a sundown dinner on the boardwalk at Lake Sumter. Take a sunrise stroll on a cart path. Line dance at both town squares... then... you gotta go home
