Another example of what makes The Villages such a special place. Somehow a trip to Alaska turned into us cruising aboard MSC Poesia with about 50 friends!

Lori and I are looking forward to checking another bucket-list trip off the list and making some great memories with an even better group of people.

We DO have the internet package, but between Alaska, the ship, and probably a few adult beverages, we may be a little slower than normal getting back to you. We will return every message.

And no worries, Rise & Shine, Villagers! will continue without interruption. The POD keeps rolling even while weโ€™re floating.

While weโ€™re away, itโ€™s actually a great time to play around with some of the new tools and resources weโ€™ve been adding to our websites.

You can:

๐Ÿก Search homes currently available around The Villages

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Explore our growing interactive maps for golf, recreation centers, pools, town squares and other useful locations

๐Ÿ“– Check out our moving resources and guides if youโ€™re thinking about making The Villages home

โ˜€๏ธ Read Rise & Shine, Villagers! for local happenings, entertainment, golf information, food ideas and things to do

๐Ÿš— Dig into our local guides and day-trip ideas when youโ€™re ready to explore beyond the golf-cart paths

๐Ÿ’ฐ Find information designed to help buyers understand homeownership, living expenses and what to expect before making a move

And weโ€™re still adding more.

If you find something that would make one of these tools more useful, send it our way. A lot of what weโ€™ve built came directly from questions people asked us.

Thatโ€™s kind of the point.

Help people. Share good information. Have some fun doing it.

Now, Alaska here we come. ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ๐Ÿ”๏ธ
