patfla06 congratulation on your move in. We are making process with packing. I keep telling myself it is worth all the work. Packed up the garage stuff today. I know we have packed to much stuff but figured it wasn't worth arguing with my husband over some of his garage stuff and I am sure he will feel the same way about my kitchen things.

One day at a time and we will be there before we know it.

We came down to close on our home in May and then had to return home until September. I can't wait to get back! It's hard to explain how much fun running everyday errands in a golf cart is to anyone who hasn't done it! Met the nicest people at the Paradise dog park and the Hilltop pool. This is just going to be a great chapter of our lives!

We also just bought a home in Lake Deaton on Neighborly Way, only through pictures. We will be part time for 3 yrs but eventually we will also be FROGS. Good luck on your new home.

Congratulations! Know how you feel. We returned home to Georgia after our 3rd visit to TV this past week. We put our home on the market this morning. Hopeful we can get a new home before they sell out. We also are looking in the Lake Deaton area. Hope to see everyone real soon.

My husband and I have been in our home in Lake Deaton for a week now. For those of you who have bought or considering a home in this area, you will love the location - very close to Brownwood and not that far from Lake Sumter. There is an email list so that you can be made aware of activities planned for the villagers in Lake Deaton. PM me if you'd like the email address so that your name could be added. Hope to meet many of you when you're here!

It must be universal with husbands bringing the entire garage!
Mine got so touchy whenever I asked what he was purging from the
garage ( tools he hasn't used since we moved from N.J.)
I was the same way with the kitchen stuff.

Can't wait for you to get here. Since I've been living through all of this with you, I feel so excited and remember how impatient I was to get to TV back in '08. You will be so happy, it will all be worth it.

Ask your vet about a small tranquilizer for your cat. I gave a 1/2 of one to one of my dogs who wasn't a good traveler, and I never had to give him another throughout the whole 3000 mile trip. I'm sure they can suggest something. But as Redwitch says, it may settle down after only a day on the road.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, can't wait for you to get here!!!!

Hi All,

Packing sucks. I am to the last stages of choosing a moving company and I need to do it quickly since my husband is now wanting to rent a U-Haul. I want to extra help with loading and unloading. It's 110 here and will probably be hotter the end of July.

Kathie I am so looking forward to being there soon. I hope you will be all moved in when we get there. 3000 miles is a scary thought. Well we won't be that far since we are in Blythe. Every mile closer is a big deal.

Thanks for all the friendly comments.

patflo06 he has 3 tool boxes he is bringing. How many screwdrivers do you need? His packing and mine is so different. I will be so ready for happy hour in TV once we get there.

Well once we are in TV we will be fulltime frogs.

See ya all soon.

[Schaumburger]

uprivergirl, Happy packing, hope your trip across the US is safe, and hope your move in goes smoothly!. And may your kitty be happy in its new home!

Welcome!! We're in the middle of the similar move. We came here to visit in January, and after a long and thoughtful discussion about how we really wanted to spend and ENJOY our retirement decided this was the place for us. It didn't hurt that I already had a sister here and two more planning to come as well. We returned from our trip, talked over our decision with our kids and began thinning out in preparation to get our house on the market. We were stunned when our house sold in less than 24 hours and immediately had to plan our move, beginning with leasing a CYV here for three months to give us time to find our house.

We found it in Dunedin, after a hectic three weeks of searching and will close mid next month! Now we are finally settling back and enjoying ourselves on this trip-- and oh by the way we ditched all our furniture as we planned to start over here. That was rather funny working with our move coordinator as our load estimates kept dropping from almost 15k lbs to a final 4.7 lbs.

[BuckeyeMom]

Hi Kathy - Good luck with all the moving preparations! It will be worth all the hard work once you arrive at your new home in The Villages. We've been here only two weeks and love it all so much already. Looking forward to meeting you once you get here. Have a safe and pleasant ride to Florida!
