We first visited new vacationeers to the Villages last year, stayed with them one day and had fun exploring with them.
We then did a search and review in May of this year and tasted the Kool-Aid.

We just completed a Life Style Preview and had a lot of time with our realtor Angela and a lot of time on our own comparing houses and lots and locations.
We put down our deposit on an Iris in Gilchrist and will close in December.
We meet one neighbor and I think we will fit in just great.
Can't wait to become full-timers in 9 to 12 months.
We will be furnishing and sporadic visiting over that period of time. Whooo Hoooo.

We will be there again for closing in January, then get to stay for only 2 weeks before heading back north. But we will be full time in less than 2 years!

I had to chuckle when I saw the original post. Mom and I came for our first visit almost two years ago. We put a down payment on a lot on that three day visit, had our design team meeting a couple of months later and about a month later had our Lifestyle Visit. I'm still waiting to move to TV! But, I love to visit!

Go Blue!

In Ohio now. It's snowing.

Can't wait to move down. Can't wait to move down. Can't wait to move down.

Is anybody tired of it yet?

We had friends that had been asking us several years to vacation with them in the Villages. Our last kid went to college and we said, "ok" thinking we were just going on a simple vacation. We bought that first week. Carpe Diem!

We are still a couple of years away from retirement . . . and we can't wait.
