Bring a camera that shoots video and make sure you both take turns using it. Instead of taking pictures narrate the scene.
Make business cards from vistaprint. Most of us have them. When you make a friend give them a card. You never know who is selling or thinking about selling their house. Get the GPS App the vendor on TOTV sells. Get a map too. Where ever you are when you open it, Villagers will come to the rescue. I wouldn't waste time on lines waiting for a table. Sit at the bar and meet people. if i think of anything else i will add on to this post |

Stop in several rec centers and see what is going on. Swim at the neighborhood centers and check out the art room at the regional centers and sometimes some of The Villages bands and orchestra's are practicing there in other rooms. Ditto ballet and jazz and tap classes.
People are always stopping by the art studio I go to. There are a LOT of talented residents here and a lot of great teachers too.

Take the rec news home with you and visit the pools. I would buy a couple of map at the sales office. Do the activities that interest you most but don't try to fit everything in as the days will go fast and you'll get crazy which way to head in. I found just talking to everyone you come into contact with, will give you a good feeling about what TV is all about. Have fun!!!

1. Rent a car so you can go all around TV in less than a half hour from point A to point B. The place is gigantic and the slow golf carts provided will take too much of your limited time.
Use the cart to go to the nearby town square and a few places in the immediate vicinity, but do the rest by car. Navigating this huge place requires ALL your attention when driving, and your time is limited. 2. Definitely take the trolley tour, to get a sense of all the main areas and to learn some history of TV. 3. Spend time at Spanish Springs Town Square. It is beautiful and the neighborhoods there are really nice, a bit different from the newer ones built southward. 4. Look at homes with the TV sales rep assigned to you (they do not pressure at all). 5. Talk with everyone at the town squares. You can learn a lot from Villagers already here and living their lives to the fullest. 6. Stay longer than 5 days, maybe at the Waterfront Hotel. Five days go by in a flash here and you'll wish you had more time. TV can probably get you the residents' or preview discount at the Waterfront. 7. Bring your checkbook. |

Yes, rent a car, a convertible, at the airport. Live a little. You won't get lost. The van for 2 without a tip is $180 round trip. Try to arrive in daylight if possible.
Where are you from exactly? In our phone book everyone is broken down to city and state of origin. I'll tell you how many are from your hometown. If I can figure out an easy way to PM you the names we will go from there. |

If you like bluegrass music and are here on a Wednesday you might want to drop in on The Bluegrass Performance Club at the Seabreeze Rec Center. They play from 1:00-3:00 and are really talented performers. It's open to anyone and it's free.
