Thanks. Everyone likes to joke about bring the checkbook. Get it but not for us this time. Like I said before this is pure recon.

We are really looking forward to: vaca, house hunting (looking at types and areas), getting the "feel" for TV (though the forum does that pretty well), getting a feel for some specific things that may appeal to the "boys" (woodworking, boating/fishing in the area and such).

We are 2 couples, looking together.

Getting excited. Think we will get lost a lot........

One other thought. I am not a "joiner". Just me, like to do a lot of stuff but just not in a group setting. Used to golf many years ago, but have not in as many. Not anti-social or anything....... Wife is kind of the same way, generally, but likes exercise kind of stuff and does join a lot of stuff for that.

Anybody else start out that way?

We have been with a salesman three different years and he is the best. No pressure. We decided on a courtyard when our time comes. The trolley is hellpful too. Love dancing at the squares.

I know. I promise to do the debrief in detail. Actually looking forward to it. I tend to over research things (like this) for years. So we will see next week.

If you see us driving our cart and confused, it's us!

jack_pine -- I'm an over-researcher also. Better to have too much information than to be clueless and pay for it later. That is why I like TOTV so much. Moving 1,000 miles away requires homework and preparation!

I am with you. I do it over and over, make spreadsheets, visit many web site and forums. The hunt is the best part for me.

I'm another one of those too.
