Glad to see that you're enjoying the cruise. One day, we want to visit Alaska when it has a full 24/7 period of daylight. In & around TV are a lot of fantastic restaurants to make your favorite go-to places to eat. The idea is to find a favorite, that serves dishes you like the most, has a great attentive staff who provides the service you appreciate most. Then help them by eating there often. Outside TV, we like to travel to Tarpon Springs for great Greek food. Peter, a great look at TV mail system. It's nice not to worry about an individual mailbox. As Jerry & Linda say, it's nice to take a walk or short ride to get the mail. Love the addition of Pet of The Week. Audra, a great segment. Your explanations of negative reasons not to have co-trustees. Thanks! Jerry & Linda, we hope you'll have a great cruise & a safe return home. Remember, Florida is in the eastern time zone! 🤣

[@abview]

Enjoy your cruise! You did a great job with the show as usual.

Keeping the videos coming even when on vacation, you guys are the best! Thanks for all you do. I like the cart rides, for those that don't like them, hey just skip over it. Love you guys!

[@vernonaskey9871]

You are absolutely correct! We did activities, went to shows at The Savannah, went to two pools, went all over the place in our golf cart, went to Edna’s on the Green, Glenview CC, four different fabulous restaurants at Brownwood Paddock Square. Spent time with our amazing agent Jane Machol going through some beautiful homes. We throughly enjoy our Patio Villa and tried to take advantage of the Lifestyle week to learn all we could about TV.

[@barbaraebner5889]

We rented for a month in October. We loved it but our budget to buy and maintain is too high. We will continue to rent Oct/Nov. best of luck to you. 🍀

Way to go Linda!!! Tell Jerry that him line dancing would make some great show videos. Come on Jerry, there is the Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Wabble, and the cha cha slide. Remember what happens on the ship needs to show on video, lol, next week!!!!!

My second favorite thing to do is riding my golf cart everywhere, I haven’t taken my car out of the garage for 20 months I just open the garage door start the car up let it run for a few minutes. Golf is my favorite thing to do. I drive to the VA, grocery shopping, restaurants, town squares or just get in the golf cart and drive.

Hi Ronnie!

Thanks for doing the show. Have a great time in Alaska.!

Omg. How thoughtful of you to film upload from the ship. Such dedication. Oh no. Sorry someone was ill and had to depart. Speedy recovery. Thanks Peter for showing the mail system. That’s great the postman can fill from the inside and have a bit of cooling off. Pet of the week is adorable. The sweet always sweet. Oh Joyce doesn’t like your cart ride vids. Oh my. That little bridge looked so tight but both carts fit. Great ask Amy and it makes sense. Great show. I watched Thursdays show. It was great Thanks so much and enjoy the rest of the cruise 🚢.

Too 5 Things TO DO in the Villages: 1) ☝🏻MUSIC at the Square (or better yet, at Edna’s on the Green) 2) ☝🏻Play GOLF (the Villages golf courses are better than most I play, even the pitch & putt and putting course, which is surprising given there are SO MANY courses to choose from) 3) ☝🏻BIKE ride or WALK the multimodal paths (so many beautiful trails and can really appreciate how nicely kept ALL of the landscaping and nature trails are) 4) ☝🏻Go to any REC CENTER (do any scheduled activity, play games both indoors and out, jump in the pool … so much TO DO, and the Rec Centers are pretty special) 5) ☝🏻Sit on the LANAI and talk to neighbors and people walking by (it truly is America’s FRIENDLIEST hometown) Pretty similar to your list. Yes, “GOLF CART living” is SO cool, and I probably didn’t include it because we take it for granted. And yes, so many good RESTAURANTS (too many to limit to 5) both inside and outside “the Bubble” 😉 (p.s.we LOVE Ski Beach😋👍🏻) I made this list BEFORE watching your video. 😉 Some of my neighbors might add “play PICKLEBALL” but that’s one thing I haven’t tried yet 😏 Ask five people and you might get five different answers 😏 p.s. got it (the Jumble) 😂

One thing about the Postal Boxes. All mail is addressed to your actual home address and NOT the box number. You DO NOT get the location-anonymity you get with a U.S. Post Office box. If you want anonymity you need to rent a box from a private "mail service" or a U.S. Post Office. There are no U.S. Post Offices in the Villages.
