    As always, thanks Jan & Debbie for an interesting video! You may have literally saved many people from driving headaches by discussing the traffic at the end of the “ season”!!! Wow!! 2 days “early exit “ sounds like a good plan to me!!!😎

    My wife (another Jan😊) and I plan on moving to Latitude Margaritaville in PCB next year after vacationing in that area for decades. The information you share is so helpful not only in regards to Florida in general but the mindset and attitude about living and thriving in an active adult community. Thanks so much, you are lovely ladies!

    Village Golf Cars also told us to over-inflate the golf cart tires (as well as unhook the battery and add the gas-additive) when we leave for the season. I’ll be down for a week in July to check things out so, fingers crossed!! We did all the other things you mentioned (bleach in drains, cover toilets, plug drains, turn off water, etc). I am interested in the oil you use, Debbie, when you leave. I do hate that musty smell! We are the only snowbirds on our street in DeLuna, so all our neighbors are looking out for us (along with our Ring doorbell and cameras!). Looking forward to getting back down there! Thanks for the video!

      If you google “agraria of san Francisco” you should find it. We purchased the oil and defuser initially. After that we just get the oil refill. It is expensive, but it lasts me a year. We love the Citrus Lily 💕. Now you will know what my house smells like 🤣🤣. Enjoy your weekend and your July visit!

    Social Security checks do not come out the first of the month. They come out the second, third and fourth Wednesday of the month depending upon what day your birthday is. For example, mine is the 6th, so I get my payment on the second Wednesday of each month. 😅If your birthday is 1 through 10, it’s the second Wednesday etc. The only people who get paid on the first are those receiving SS disability income. A friend of mine is born on the 18th so his pay day is the third Wednesday of each month etc. Just an FYI. You ladies must not be collecting SS benefits yet. My regular pensions is the 1st as are my other IRA and deferred compensation retirement funds. I have 5 retirement accounts in total, though 3 are fairly small. I make more now than before I retired. I kind of planned it that way. I’m still poor, but was always good with numbers. The 31st AND Friday is a bad combination to be on the road. I travel Sunday evening and Wednesday or Thursday.

    We use a trickle charger on our golf cart or you can use the kill switch for your battery, but it still drains, just less. You are suppose to inflate your tires to 30 something. But you must remember to deflate & not drive on them with inflated air when you come back.

    Hi Jan, love your videos... so informative and great opinions based on your years of experiences living in TV.
    Question: I am a 4.0 tennis player and would like to hook up and hit with similar skill level players. Last year during my lifestyle visit i got to play some doubles games with some really great players. I would like to know how I should get into some games while I'm down here stuffing my new house in Monarch Grove until I have to go back to NY for some summer commitments, and then back down in October for the winter till September. Thanks for any input you may have... and Id like to hit with you also if possible... thanks again and be well... Noah

    • @thevillages365
      @thevillages365  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Noah! This is Debbie and I am actually the tennis player 😃. Best thing to do is as early as possible, call Glenview and let them know when you can play, your level, and they will get you in with play. From there you will meet people and they will also push you into other groups as well. I would love to hit, but I don’t play much in the summer. I am busy bouncing around everywhere else! Thanks for watching!

      Ahhhh... thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I see why you don't get excited about playing in the summer with the temps so high you could fry and egg on the court surface!! I'll get up there and inquire.... Have fun galivanting this summer!! Keep up the great videos!!

    Such good information! We've got our lifestyle visit booked for the first week of October, arriving on the first. Is October 1st when the snow birds arrive or do they wait until November or December? We may end up coming down a couplev of days early and going to Orlando first because friend of our who live in England will be in Orlando and we'd love to see them.

      The fall incoming is pretty varied. People seem to come and go in those months. The bug influx comes in January and then in April it calms a bit. At the end of April and beginning of May you see a big drop. Thanks for always watching!

    How hard is it to get a starting time at a championship course? Season and off season.

    • @thevillages365
      @thevillages365  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Overall not terrible. Lots of factors in your question. If you are flexible with your time and course, even at the height of the season, not a problem.
      There is something called “enhanced membership”. We did a video on this. I will put the link below. That helps you get very close to what you want (course and time). Other than that, there is a point system which is an algorithm to help things stay fair. We both have enhanced memberships and have never had an issue. We have had friends who are not enhanced, and for all of the times we golf with them, we have had our request denied twice. That said, we were always able to go in and find a tee time. It just was a different course or time than we had hoped for. Thanks for the question and for watching!
