I've got a good friend that lives in the area - plays in a band that frequently plays gigs at the Villages - "Rocky and the Rollers" -pays well. He also does the cruise ship thing, too.

I'll die on a ladder in KC.
As it should be. Actually before the lil one the wife and I were going to travel the country, stay in RV parks. Goal was to see the country & paint a sign/mural in every state. |

We're kicking around some destinations now that retirement is within sight.
Possibly Gulfport, Mississippi or Albuquerque, NM.

when you have talent such as yours, you keep making art until they put you in ground or cremate you.

I am slightly familiar with the area, been there 3 times. I like to joke it's the only place I'd die in a drunken golf cart accident as some of those electrics can haul ass nowdays. I do remember I sure drank a lot when there. And finding your way home.... can you say adventure?
It is a great place to lay back and relax, fish, drink, and golf. I couldn't pay for a round but like my old Lindsey golf membership, when I brought a guest, it was expensive. My friend passed 2 years back, couldn't quit drinking :-(, and after not being there for 3 years; I almost forgot about how nice the area was. Prices on property are up, but that's everywhere. I need to do a week long fact gathering stay and learn about the area again. Quote:

Puerto Rico
We travel every winter. We spent a week in the rain forest if Puerto Rico in January. Great views and laid back people. I'd move there.
My wife likes St. Thomas a little better. PR has decent healthcare. PR has cheap flights to the U.S. It uses U.S. currency You don't need a passport. We may end up in Canada in the summers though. |

All the new construction is going on below the Turnpike, they bought thousands of acres from Leesburg and Wildwood. They've only started a year ago and already have 2500 homes sold. The problem, there are no restaurants or stores in that area. You'll have to drive five miles to the nearest Publix, stuff will be built, but it will take a couple of years. They have two golf cart bridges currently under construction so you can cross the Turnpike and CR44, but currently you cannot drive your golf cart from those areas to where live and the golf courses are located. Where I live, it's 15 miles from the new areas. We have all kinds of stores in this area. Because of this, a lot of people are buying the resales, which is great for me. My courtyard villa that I bought new in 2011 for $158K and now worth $250K. You'll have to decide, do you want new and have to drive a long way to restaurants and stuff or to buy a resale. Resales usually have a lot of improvements. I have six championship golf courses I can reach in my golf cart within 15 minutes. I go to a gym 3 days a week, it's beautiful, big and nice, but is 10 miles from the new homes. Here's my gym, it's six years old, there is no gym under construction in the new area. Also new homes and resales are much higher priced in The Villages. Look at homes in zip code 32162 The Villages and then look at homes in Summerfield 15 miles north of The Villages, which has two different retirement communities. Hope this helps, my gym is called MVP and it's free with my health care. Also, we have our own VA Medical Facility, I had my annual free eye exam today at the VA, if you're a veteran its' free. MVP Gym Our VA Clinic, it handles over 16,000 patients. The Villages has 19,000 veterans living here. |

AZ for winters and Montana/Wyoming/Idaho for the summers. Or maybe just Coeur D'alene.

Florida gets tornadoes. We get them here at times, during storms and hurricanes, but they're smaller and weaker than the ones that hit out in Hurricane Alley. Just not every two weeks. |
