my wife and i had out first lifestyle visit in February (4 nights) and are counting the days (21) to our next visit for 6 nights. Could not agree more with the other posters...the lifestyle visit is the way to go.

For our last and our upcoming visit, we rented a car to get to/from TV.....that way we controlled our arrival/departure rather than having to live with the shuttle schedule.

One recommendation.....in our humble opinion....when/if you have your liftstyle visit, rent a golf cart while you are there......we loved every minute in ours (even getting soaked in a rain storm).....TV is a "golf cart" community and in our opinion....renting one adds to the experience and is the only way to really get the complete feel of being a Villager.

Enjoy!!!

I agree that the lifestyle preview is the way to go. Definitely go on the trolley ride (you get a better "lay of the land"). Even if you rent a car to get here, rent a golf cart for a day or two and just ride around. Invest the $5 in a Villages Map (they can be purchased at the Mercantile stores in either town square) and ride around. Even though I bought a house on my lifestyle preview (found a great one I couldn't pass up) I make a point to take a ride and "get lost" each time I come down to stay for a while. It is a great way to see where roads lead, what the characteristics of the various neighborhoods are and if you rent a golf cart, you are paying for the gas so might as well use as much of the tank up as you can

We have been there once so far for the preview and will return on Oct. 18th weekend to see the antique car club. We hear it is very active. We also have friends previewing in December. Heard a lot and want to check it out. I'd also like to inquire about health care and possible teaching jobs, just in case I want to work while my husband plays with his cars.
