Thanks Helen & Irv

Looking forward to meeting you also. We decided on the Begonia with a Lanai stretch and Den stretch, golf cart garage and the lot turned out to be terrific for us.

Good luck with your closing. Where will you be living in the meantime?

We will be renting our own home through April 30. Vera will retire as a speech pathologist for the school system in June but I will take up our residence in TV
when Village home is ready. We won't have to move twice. Buyer final inspection on the 14th.

Sounds as though you have everything worked out well. We wanted the same arrangement but buyers in Miami don't want the rental arrangement --ours agreed however to delay closing until the closing in TV which worked out even better for us as we lucked out in having no extra expenses. Where are you in Virginia?

Vera is a speech pathologist and would like to continue working in Florida for awhile after retiring from the school system here. Sounds like Sanibel is going to be a great place to live. I hope Brownwood gets completed soon.

Hi everyone. I'm Kathy and my husband is Bill. We went to The Villages about 6 weeks ago and bought a lot on Fort Walton Golf Course in Sanibel. I believe our street is Adrianne Way. We love our lot but had to buy a "Premium" lot because we want to build a Gardenia Designer home with stretches to both the garage and lanai. We will also have a pool so we had to purchase a larger lot. I, too am baffled at how few larger lots there are. The lot we got was the only lot available, at the time, to accommodate our larger home. We will be down in March to speck out the home and start building in April with a target move date the second week of June. We really can't wait to make new friends. We are active and are looking forward to "retirement." As far as I know our home will be the last one built in our culdesac. We will see everyone there!!!

Hi Pete. Thanks so much for the map of Sanibel! My husband and I have only been to that area once to see our lot and we first thought our lot was in Hemingway but just found out today that we are in Sanibel on Adrienne Way right on the cul de sac! The map was so helpful to us. Now we know where we are going to live...he he!!!

Can't wait to meet our neighbors but we won't start building until April 1, 2012 so we'll see everyone in June! We also don't know much about the setting up of a home in the south, as we live in the North, so any advice will be appreciated as far as moving, where to get furniture and getting the garage apoxied (i know i spelled it wrong) and planting palms in our yard, pest control....any advice step by step would be helpful....Thanks everyone!

Kathy

My wife are building a Lily in Sanibel with a closing date in January. Were probably on the younger side but have enjoyed visiting the Villages for over 15 years.

I am 56 and my husband is 61. I was worried about being too young for TV. That is why we are building in a new village (Sanibel). We all worked so hard to get here!!!epper

See ya all at the pool!!!
