Love the two of you together!

[@cherylrossi3575]

You definitely should do another one together. This was fun!

Fantastic. Fast paced. 2 delightful people. Thank you!!

[@noreenn6976]

Can't wait to see this, loved the outtakes, lol.

[@Liz0409]

This is such a great video, very helpful. I love watching the Village Chief. We are 48/50, but I think we are going to move to The Villages in 2025. In December I was diagnosed with breast cancer so we want to move our "move to the village' plans up. We will still be working FT, but we are so excited to move there anyway. It looks like so much fun. Robyn - I'm going to keep your info and will contact you when we come down for a visit, probably in Jan 2025.

[@Robyncavallaro]

Perfect...stay healthy

[@flybirds2024]

This is great information for people in similar situations, I moved here 2 years ago when I was 60 years old and do plan to work until retirement age. My plan was always to move here so when I do retire I will be completely setup and able to really enjoy The Villages to the fullest!

[@Robyncavallaro]

Awesome, happy to hear you are loving it.

Jeff is great, I’ve been watching his channel since it started.

Definitely more.

[@user-bl9lk8ng1k]

Hi Robyn and “Chief”. Thank you both for your videos. My husband and I are in the process of moving to the villages (Citrus Grove). We are very excited! It is soooo beautiful! In regard to the amenity fee, we think it is worth mentioning the fee is per house/property, not per person. 😊

[@Robyncavallaro]

Welcome to The Villages

[@cherylrossi3575]

This should be great!

My batteries, all of them, died and my memory cards were full LOL

When are we going to see a biker video or the Chief's first day on the pickleball court? Yes, i am a sub for both channels.

Maybe coming up....

[@julietallman1918]

You two have so much in common!! Meet cute? 😉🥰 (In fact… after having followed both of you for quite a while, I had thought in the past that the two of you definitely ought to at least know each other! And now, here this is 😍)

[@Robyncavallaro]

Thanks for watching!

[@GAN-0]

Great show -a lot of fun to watch. I don’t have a bike but I’ve got a fun Bronco that gets me just about anywhere I need to go 😂! Hit Moab in ‘23 and had a great time 👍. And if it helps I’ve got a full month on you both😂

[@Robyncavallaro]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jackibrown5215]

New couple alert?????

[@noreenn6976]

At the very least, hopefully a new friendship.

[@noahschechtel8979]

My thoughts...EXACTLY!!

[@kimberlydeprey]

Chief is so calm, no way. Lol

[@nshaver24]

I sure hope…he’s such a handsome guy…seems so nice…and those eyes😉🥰🥰

[@auroranite]

The retirement conundrum is Medical coverage. You can get Social Security benefit at age 62, (60 if widowed). Medicare insurance begins at age 65. So it creates a significant financial burden for the gap of 62-65. Itswhat we’re facing and why delayed. Btw employer carried Cobra coverage for first year premium is outrageous.

[@lorithompson9166]

Smokers smoke in all the restaurants in the outdoor bars up north, especially cigars, smokers not allowed to smoke in the Villager bars down south, only on the sidewalks. Much healthier people live further south.

[@user-no5ex8kp4h]

Just watched this show. Please do more. My wife and I are planning on moving down there soon and both will be working. 57 and 59. Video very relevant. How about thoughts on golf carts? How convenient is being in middle of state, is it easier to explore Florida.

[@noreenn6976]

It is a good location for exploring other parts of the state. Lots to do/see within a 1 -2 hour drive.

[@Robyncavallaro]

Great topics! Thanks for watching

[@davidrupprecht2774]

Chief!

[@glowc2911]

I feel a very strong connection going on 😂.

[@scottallemong5079]

I actually follow you both, and it was great to see you all together. Definitely some good chemistry. We are closing in The Village of Dabney the first week of February, and watching all the KZbinr's in The Villages has been so helpful and encouraging. Now, what I want to know is, can you go back through your records and see if you rated Jeff's house as a "dump"? Would love to know.

[@teresameyer8155]

If you watch the chief his house is cute!

[@Robyncavallaro]

I did not :)

[@scottallemong5079]

@@teresameyer8155 I do watch Jeff and I like his home. Just not sure how many renovations he did to get it to that point.

We agree with you on food in TV. The only place we like is The Flying Biscuit we love it! We tried several country clubs and we strike out with Havana and Nancy Lopez. We do the Hello Fresh delivered and that is awesome. We haven't ventured out of TV yet.

Chief - You use the Gym at the Recreation Center. Even though you pay for it, but the fees are reasonable & equipment is in good shape.

[@lorischamay1634]

Enjoyed the video! Have seen most of the Chief’s videos as well. Why does he call himself The Chief? Think he was in the Navy. Is that a reference to his rank? Chief Warrant or Petty Officer or something like that?

[@Robyncavallaro]

Thanks for watching. Yes he was a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy
