We used Gastley Moving company for our move. They are a local company in Gettysburg and they did a fantastic and timely move for us and at a reasonable price.

You will love Briar Meadow...close to shopping in Mulberry Grove. I moved to Villages 8 years ago from Harrisburg. My son was born @ Hershey Med center (37 yrs. ago!) Maybe when you are settled in we could arrange a "central Pa. group". You are coming @ a great time; not too much traffic & snowbirds. Get a Villages map & explore....Pat

I went to Hershey with my 4th grade class trip...North Ward Elementary School in Tamaqua. Romped around the mountains of Sullivan County. Sounds like we should have a pot luck when you get settled! Keep us posted!

I was born and raised in Harrisburg and we moved to The Villages in July '07 from Camp Hill, PA. Went to Hershey Park every year and frequently ate at restaurants in the Hershey/Hummelestown area. Miss the beauty of the area, Mt Gretna, Lancaster, Gettysburg, loved walking along the Susquehanna River in downtown Harrisburg and the colorful autumns, but we are very happy here.

We are from Muncy - north of Harrisburg. Been to Hershey many times as a kid.

Moved to Village of Charlotte from New Oxford (10 miles east of Gettysburg) last October. Did not miss the winter weather at all. Good doctors in Hershey when we needed specialization, and of course, good chocolate any time. Good people in PA, but will only go back for short visits...........I'm a FROG now. The kids want to move down here to join us. They love it here as well. A Central PA group sounds great.

Thanks for your response!! Great idea - Central PA group!!! That might help with our transition to TV!! Love the idea of not too much traffic, but how is the weather during these summer months!! Any suggestions for handling the heat???

Thanks for your response!!! My husband was born and raised in Paxtang!!!Sounds like you know our PA area well and have fond memories of PA. I'm glad to hear you are happy in TV!!! Perhaps, we can start a Central Pa group as was suggested earlier??? Looks like there are quite a few PA veterans??

Since this is the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, guess you may be glad you are out of the area due to the influx of tourists??? We've been watching it on television!!! When you go back for short visits, I assume you fly North??? We have a little dog, so that may not be an option for us!!! At this early date, we are not sure we will become "FROGS"? Give us a year or two!!!
