My husband and I are coming down to visit the Villages at the end of February for the first time… I hope the weather will be warm and wonderful! We are in MD and it is cold here!

It should be perfect weather for your visit! 50/70

Seems like a fun place to live worth looking into. Sitting in Boston freeze

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

You can sign up for a Lifestyle Preview Visit. They will put you up in a 2-3 bedroom house with a golf cart and bikes. They set you up to golf and go to show, etc. Be a Villager for a week. We went in August, when it's HOT, but was only $99/night.

[@breegillam2701]

Relic gave me the chills -so good. Hooligans great too ❤. Happy NEW year 🎊🎆

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

Happy New Year!

[@deniseparker1088]

Happy New Year 🎉 We were @ Sumter with The Hooligans. Didn't see ya! 😂

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

Didn't see you either. :( Happy New Year!

Another great video Skip and Sue. I can't wait to meet you guys' next fall when I move to the villages.

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

Would you like to explain the "Skip and Sue" comment?

Happy New Year Karen and Roy. You both look relaxed and at peace. Sending blessings to you. Nina ❤️🥂🙋🏻‍♀️

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

Thanks, Nina! We are digging life like never before. :) Happy New Year!

[@barbaraebner5889]

Do you still love it as you did from day 1?

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

Being retired, we love it even more now! :)

[@jamiescott260]

Great job just wondering who the band was at Spanish springs . Thank you

[@DisMindy5767]

I wish we had been there. Did you know The Hooligans play regularly in the UK 🇬🇧 pavilion at EPCOT? I've seen them there many times over the years. We love them. I think my favorite just might be Johnny Wild and the Delights. I think Sawgrass has the least parking of any venue. We also really love Relic. Had we been there we'd probably find what you did and square hopped. Pray that we'll be able to get back to the Villages next weekend and not get stuck in DC with all the snow. 😮 btw...careful with the Live music in the background...KZbin isn't kind to content creators like that.

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

The only music we had to remove was Johnny Wild - bummer, because we talked more, but the music was loud enough to get picked up by the algorithm. We follow The Hooligans on FB so we know they play a lot outside of TV. Karen would like to go to DW, but I'm not hot on the idea. So we'll probably go. HAHAHA Happy New Year!

[@DisMindy5767]

@ToRetirementAndBeyond just before you go to Disney, so your research. I used to be a Disney vacation planner before I retired. ALOT has changed since then though. Planning done Amy you can have a fabulous time. We're annual passholders and Disney vacation club members so we go often.

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

@@DisMindy5767 We have neighbor friends that are annual pass holders. If we went we'd probably go with them.

[@DisMindy5767]

@@ToRetirementAndBeyond then you're in good hands. But I guess say...now that I'm somewhat of a local annual passholder, we do that parks in a completely different way.

[@carolyneverett762]

They need some good oldies bands playing 50s, 60s, 70s music.

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

Johnny Wild plays 50's & 60's. There's also Rocky and the Rollers that plays 60's and 70's AM radio hits. There's a band for everyone.

[@urofseron]

Lmfao. Relic > Hooligans all day, every day. It’s not even close.

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

Relic is more pop - they just don't rock as hard. That being said, they are a really good band.

[@bilyclub]

Sawgrass is not a square.

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

And Eastport will also not be a "Square". They are "entertainment venues"...... but not very easy to put in the title of a KZbin video.

[@bilyclub]

@@ToRetirementAndBeyond Eastport is a Town Center which statisfied the agreement between the developer and Sumter County for a fourth Square. Back when the developer announced Sawgrass they were very adamant about not calling it a square.

Sorry to see you go. :(

[@franomts7512]

2025 was our third New Years Eve as well. And we’ve seen The Hooligans all three times! Our favorite band by far.

[@ToRetirementAndBeyond]

Some people have good taste in music!!! :)

[@franomts7512]

@ Thanks! In March we are scheduled to see “Get The Led Out” at the Sharon Theater. We’ll see how they stack up against The Hooligans.
