That's true, but... Up north in the winter, you have to stay indoors the entire day to remain comfortable (unless you're a cold-weather buff). Down here in the summer, you can be outside in the morning and evening comfortably and not have to put on 17 pounds of clothing to go out of the house. I'll take that any day.

Many of us had two homes but decided to sell one and stay here permanently. My husband and I got tired of the three-day trek back & forth to the north, and emotionally, I prefer to have a permanent home and go on trips from there, always returning to the same place. I found it slightly unsettling to go to another home for six months, get used to that life, then pull it all up and go to the other place and start that life up again. Crazy, I know, but I'm happier with just one place.

Agree

Outdoor activities early or late afternoon , but driving is so much better ( GC or
car ) restaurants are almost no waiting , stores are a pleasure to shop in ---
and don't forget to patronize our local SMALL businesses ....they REALLY need the business in the summer months !

We moved here a year ago, from Minnesota. Both of us acclimated very well. Slow down, get a hat and always have water! Far more pleasant than we found MN, where some days would be just as hot as The Villages, with the added bonus of hungry mosquitoes.

Going to the square last night, i had goosebumps at 75 :cold:

Leaving in June to go up north. Good time to see grands, dance recitals, graduation, weddings. Back in September ish

Why ever would you leave paradise? I,m here 24/7 by choice

Snow! I have to leave to get my snow fix!

Summers are hot and long. By August I need cooler weather.

I do agree with a lot of posters about going out early and late.
In the hottest part of the day stay inside.

I'm going to take advantage of the heat and go through all
my closets (awww, air conditioning) and get organized.

I don't see doing the 2 homes either. May change my mind
when I have grandchildren!
