Another enjoyable, informative and grammatically correct video, Jerry, Linda and Gizmo. Thank you! Jerry, I believe you mentioned in one of your videos that you were a teacher by profession? The grammar lesson and geographical display with narration proves that you are an excellent teacher to this day! 👍🏼 It's official, The Villages Florida Newcomers are the #1 RUclipsrs in The Villages (in my humble opinion). Take good care you three! Ron
I would like to say thank you for your videos they have been helpful to us, we used to winter in Yuma AZ for the past five years. during the winter months, I decided to look elsewhere that might be closer to home we are from Michigan. I ran across your videos on RUclips and started watching them they were very helpful in making our decision. we were home about five days and decided to take a road trip to the villages in the meantime I had contacted a realtor she was very helpful and set up about 10 homes for us to look at we were there 5 days by the 4th day we made an offer on a new home and went back to Michigan. came back down three weeks later to finalize all the paperwork. We just arrived home yesterday ( Michigan which is 18-hour drive we did it in one day) we are very pleased with our new home and I'd like to say thank you for all the videos they were very helpful, We are looking forward to our new adventure .
The ride to Jacksonville thru Ocala Forest is really enjoyable drive. Very different landscape than what most think of for Florida. Destin is beautiful but colder, summer is their peak. Tks great info.
Great video. It's important to have a frame of reference. We love the beach but I think if we lived in The Villages, the pool and other activities would be enough for us on a daily basis. I have family in Naples, Ft. Lauderdale and Stewart. We also went to Sanibel and Captiva - one of our best vacations ever! Florida really varies but I think being based there still allows for experiencing a lot.
Hey guys, If you haven't been to ST. AUGUSTINE at Christmas time, consider it. So beautiful at night, trolley rides, decorations, etc. Very informative video for your subscribers who are considering the move to our State. By the way, ORLANDO housing market very healthy and expected to remain that way. Lastly, looove the turnpike regardless of the tolls vrs. I-95. Have a great weekend 🙋
I know it's personal preference but my favorite beach is Siesta Key. Next would be St. Pete's Beach and Bradenton Beach. I used to live in the town of Bradenton and also Sarasota. And yes, Sanibel Island is great too. Englewood Beach is also pretty nice.
Michigan here but we love Florida. When we move in 2021 to The Villages we definitely have a long list of places we want to visit in Florida. Thank you guys for all the info.
2 big thumbs up for this video. 👍🏻👍🏻. While I’m very familiar with Florida, this is great information for those who are not. BTW the Villages is close to 3 cruise ports (Tampa, Ft Lauderdale and Miami) which is a huge plus for us. Cheers 🍻 Tom W
That was a very informative video! Seems The Villages is about the center of travel and entertainment destinations (if you actually care to leave TV itself). Thx
Two more great Gulf Coast beaches to check out are Venice beach (go hunting for shark teeth, it’s the a Shark Tooth Capitol of the World!) and Siesta Key beach with its beautiful white quartz sand. Both places are about 2 hours and 15 minutes from The Villages, between Tampa and Sarasota.
So have you all gone to the Freezer in Homosassa yet? Has really good fresh seafood. We were visiting this week doing our Lifestyle visit and shot over to the Freezer. OMG! Great food and easy drive (bout an hour away down 44). If you go take cash. Cash only business there! Enjoy
Coco Beach, funny. I thought of astronauts as well, but knew it was I Dream of Jeanie. Great video. I think I’d fly into Tampa after the initial move because of the dogs. I used to drive from Duluth to Indiana, stay the night with the kids, then drive to Georgia and spend the night either in or near Vidalia . The next day we’d drive into Winter Haven. A friend had/has a condo there. From there we’d visit all the attractions, even Cypress Gardens which has been gone a while now. I haven’t been in years. I think it was Valdosta not Vidalia.
Check out Venice Beach sometime. The sand is nicer than many other beaches. The parking is free, and it’s a short walk to the beach. There are facilities at that beach. We’ve been there many times. A much larger beach is Siesta Key Beach. There’s a huge parking lot and a huge beach there. It’s a long walk to the shoreline on that beach from the parking lot. We’ve been there many times too. The parking was free, but they were talking about making it pay parking in the future. Sanibel beach wasn’t that great, and you have to pay about a $6 toll on the bridge. We visited most of the east coast beaches you mentioned, and they were pretty run down compared to Venus Beach and Siesta Key Beach. There’s a couple of great parks in Punta Gorda that are worth visiting.
J&L, do you have a video or any information on permanently moving to villages verses renting as snow birds if a couple still wants to be close to children and grandchildren back home. Cost to rent, feeling of belonging, renting when not in use, etc. Thanks you two for the light informative videos.
We have friends that do both. 2 sets of friends actually started out as snowbirds, But were continually worried about their homes up North when they were here, and were worried about their home here when they were up North. They ended up selling their home up North and moving here full time. Nicer homes here are not cheap to rent in the Winter which is the time you want to be here. Last winter friends from Indiana rented a designer home, which was not with a View, or a pool, or anything fancy... and they were paying $5000 a month. As far as family, we are not good ones to ask.
Thanks for this Geography session (my favorite study subject) and map pointing. I'm learning about FL in more depth from your YT series. I also heard that many rich people live in FL and home to famous singers like Barry Gibbs, Barry Manilow, or many more (?). It is always nice to see Ms. Linda's sweet smile, thanks to both of you for this weekly series. 🌞🍊🌻🌺
Just enjoyed another of your great videos. Great road trip, Tampa, Everglades, Miami, Marathon (we are long distance runners), and back... obviously over a few days. The drive to Daytona is really nice, and the roads, my god I wish we had roads that good in the UK. Get your selve a Mustang convertible, top down and cruise...
You left out the Kennedy Space Center, which I have always called “The Adult Disneyland”. Also Playalinda, a beautiful, natural beach... you both should come over for a day and see the Complex and try and make a launch day.🌹🌹🌹
Same here... We love the beaches around Pensacola. We moved to Summerglen because we were afraid of the hurricanes. We’re now the newcomers to Summerglen.
I hope the villages are spared from the coronavirus as Florida is now being hit by it. The president’s lack of concern for the vulnerable is hardly pro-life.
Hi Gizmo! This was an interesting video for those of us who aren't familiar with the geography of Florida -- distances between cities and coastlines are significant. Question: are the Florida Keys generally not considered when in-state distances or points of interest are being discussed? Their extent would add significantly to the north-south length of the state.
Maybe sometime you could explain the different areas within The Villages. Are there bigger areas/sections, then many smaller neighborhoods within those larger areas? For example, i've heard you say that you live in Brownwood, neighborhood of Dunedin. How many different neighborhoods are there in one of the larger areas? I
Hey y'all, I'm a southern belle and live on the coast of NC. I always tell ppl when they visit the beach to inquire about rip currents before they get in the ocean. The rip currents are very strong and will carry you away from shore and you will drown, another thing, sharks. The ocean is the shark's kitchen and they will eat you if you get in there! Every summer here in NC at least 2 ppl will get bitten by a hungry shark. Those sharks are NOT looking for humans to eat, buy are encouraged by your movement and think you are food!
Very cute with the Alexa thing. 😅🙄 She talked for 5 minutes with his passing average, super bowl wins, etc . Gee thanks. I have a dear friend moving there to the Village of DeLuna soon! I live over in Ponte Vedra so I can’t wait to see the area!
Oh, boy...what a way to start a "video." "Hey, Alexia...who is the best football player?" TOM BRADY! NOOOOOOOO! You are breaking my heart! I am a former sports talk show host (way back in the 70s...oh, yeah, I am a bit "up there" age wise) and an Atlanta Falcon's fan for 45 years now! And on top of that, I LIVE in New England! (In case you don't know what I am talking about, please see Super Bowl, February 5th, 2017). Oh, sure, I heard all the jokes...like, "What do you call an Atlanta Falcon with a Super Bowl ring???? A thief! Or, how about this one..."What is the difference between the Atlanta Falcons and a dollar bill?" You can still get 4 quarters out of a dollar bill!!!!!!!!! Oh, sure REAL FUNNY! Hey, all kidding aside, yet another GREAT video! You two missed your calling...you should have been geography teachers! And I am writing this on Father's Day...so, Jerry...HAPPY FATHER'S Day! And, go get'em GIZ!!!!!!!!! Love the GIZ!
Another enjoyable video :) Although we are not quite ready to relocate as I would like to work another +/- 2 years, with having two weeks of vacation in August and nothing planned I went ahead on the spirit of the moment and booked hubby and I a 6 night lifestyle visit and pretty excited about finally actually experiencing TV. We were assigned an agent, ambassador, camp counselor lol named Michelle who called me Saturday and we hit it off great and talked > 1/2 hour like we knew each other for years. After that with a couple of clicks booked pretty good reasonably priced R/T flights PVD to MCO and rental car with Southwest, and our wonderful cat sitter is free and all set to care for our 3 very spoiled felines. And with never fully unpacking from our February Caribbean cruise pretty much our bags are packed and we are ready to go. But, definitely leaving the check book and rose colored glasses behind as I can be pretty impulsive at times.
I think Gizmo needs a shirt, too! I always find it so odd that people "thumbs down" these videos. They should be required to give a reason why!! :-( Never realized you were so close to so many airports. Wonder if that was planned -- either by The Villages developers or the airports?
Hi, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos. They're very entertaining and informative. I've learned so much from your videos that I'm beginning to feel like I live there :-). In fact, we do have something in common. Friends of yours there, Vito and Amelia, are my brother and sister-in- law. I hope to be able to visit there, sometime soon. Meanwhile, I look forward to your next video. Stay well.
@@JERRYANDLINDA Thank you.....I think so too. I spoke to Vito earlier today and I told him that I've been watching youtube videos on The Villages and that it seems like a very nice place. He then mentioned you both and your videos and suggested that I might like them and to check them out. I replied that I had already been watching several of yours and like them very much. That's when he said you were neighbors in the community. The next time you see him/them, please mention that I introduced myself to you here. I think they'd like knowing that. Again, I look forward to your next video. Stay well. Best Regards, Larry
If you have a chance, go to Peck's restaurant for seafood in Crystal River. We had Grouper stuffed with crab. Best seafood around and it's located on the water. Beautiful as well! Great informative video!
Naples ... I haven't been there but there's a guy who does alot of aerial videos and that entire Naples area is gorgeous. Also, St. Pete-Clearwater airport. And you were smart to not settle in Destin. Michael just tore the 🔥👿 out of that area.
We are coming in July (2nd visit) for a lifestyle stay to the Villages. We plan on moving, from Pennsylvania, in 1 1/2 years and are so excited. Is everything open in the Villages at this point. As we hear the coronavirus is spiking like crazy in Florida.
Had to stop the video and then tell my Alexa to stop. I think she has a crush on Tom. St Augustine is not on the gulf, of course its the Atlantic side. Next time you come to Sanibel, let me know , I can show you stuff visitors never see and having a resident pass I can save u a lot on parking, and if your going to the glades again, I can point you to some cool roads and parks to explore
Nice episode you two! My wife will be house hunting in The Villages starting Sunday 28Jun20, focusing on the Chitty Chatty development about straight south of your home. We'll see you when we get there!
Great video guys, reminded me of a North Korean threat briefing with the pins and strings on the map. When I was in the Army we would have marked this video "Restricted" since you gave so much info to the Chinese to prepare for their invasion...LOL, loved it! When we golf here, I would have thought The Villages was in between New York and New Jersey if you know what I mean. Not enough of us southerners around here. You guys are the best asset the Villages has. Thanks for all the great info.
Destin area beaches are by far my favorite in Florida.Hurricane Michael hit Mexico Beach so Destin was spared.Destin is great if you love the beach. Fernandina Beach also has beautiful beaches.Fernandina Beach is a pet friendly beach to take your dogs.My greyhounds loved Fernandina Beach.
You missed Naples... it's beautiful... also Sarasota is beautiful... flowers everywhere...little shops... I was told Sanibel Island beaches were filled with seashells until Katrina...it shifted things and when I went there after Katrina there were no shells anywhere.... I spent some time in Daytona Bch... but when I crossed over to the Gulf we fell in love with the beautiful beaches... the white sandy beaches and the blue/green water... never went back to the other side after that...
I enjoyed the geography lesson with the map to put things in perspective. I'm trying to locate the shuttle company website mentioned that helps our military service men and women from MCO to The Villages if you have a link. Be safe and healthy.

Hello from Shannon and Grace from Jacksonville. We enjoyed meeting you guys. Thanks for another great video 😊
Yes indeed! So good to meet you guys. Tell Grace Gizmo says hi!
today I can say hello from the Villages....... down here visiting
Enjoy your day, Clyde!
Such a thoughtful, educational and insightful piece,thank you for taking the time :). Gizmo was a doll to watch as well!
Mexico beach is nice as well before the hurricane hit a few years ago love your videos
MCO stands for McCoy Field. It was McCoy Air Force Base. Part of SAC till 1975 when closed.
Florida Georgia Line is the band you were thinking of 🙂

Great as always, we travel to the Gulf, Redington Beach, Indian Shores Beaches are great. Less crowds same great Sunsets. Take care.

Go to Melbourne.. Stay at the DoubleTree on the beach and eat at Dos Amigos.... Also go to Anna Maria Island
Love the map/pin/string visuals!
Siesta Key Beach is alittle over two hours away, it's been rated as the countries best beach for a number of years. Check it out,

Never realized you were so close to so many airports. Wonder if that was planned -- either by The Villages developers or the airports?
Curious- is there anything that could make you head back to Indiana?
The only one that could explain " is " better is Bill Clinton. Or would it be was Bill Clinton. Sorry, I digress.

True NSB is the sharkbite capital
Sarasota is definitely worth a mention for the beaches, theater, art, St Armans Circle, etc

As an avid map enthusiast, I enjoyed this video very much. Chock full of useful information...thank you! :-)
Great job! Can tell you're northerly, midstate -- you forgot probably one of the best-known places: Miami!
Did I miss it? What about Miami? Love your videos I will be retiring into Destin in a few years... Love the beaches there.
Had to stop the video and then tell my Alexa to stop. I think she has a crush on Tom. St Augustine is not on the gulf, of course its the Atlantic side. Next time you come to Sanibel, let me know , I can show you stuff visitors never see and having a resident pass I can save u a lot on parking, and if your going to the glades again, I can point you to some cool roads and parks to explore
We live in St.Augustine!
I love your videos, I'm in the UK so no chance of joining you but I still enjoy watching.
Florida Georgia Line and Thanks for the information
It’s true the drive to the beach, Atlantic or Gulf, is about 2 hours and we have clubs for that activity, too!!
St Augustine is not on the Gulf side
I know... confoozed.
Gainesville Florida home town of Tom Petty! Those years teaching really paid off in retirement. Nice episode 👌

Hey do ya’ll have merch? Love the shirts.
Thanks, Jenny... we don't sell it.
@@JERRYANDLINDA Awe! You should. :) Villages 2042
Watch the new movie called--- SOME KIND OF HEAVEN-- all about the villages
Is it "all about The Villages?"
Thanks! Very helpful to learn about the nearest beaches. I assume the Gulf beaches have gentler surf for smaller children; the Atlantic more rough?
They can all get rough!
I lived on the Gulf for 13 years. The Gulf surf is much calmer than the Atlantic.
I grew up on the Atlantic; yes, I would say that's true.
LOVE you guys...but Tom Brady??? haha
We are Manning fans but thought that was funny.
@@JERRYANDLINDA Haha, love you both (and Gizmo). Manning is the MAN. Have a great day.
You missed Naples... it's beautiful... also Sarasota is beautiful... flowers everywhere...little shops... I was told Sanibel Island beaches were filled with seashells until Katrina...it shifted things and when I went there after Katrina there were no shells anywhere.... I spent some time in Daytona Bch... but when I crossed over to the Gulf we fell in love with the beautiful beaches... the white sandy beaches and the blue/green water... never went back to the other side after that...
Thank you for the great videos.
Boo Tom Brady...
GOAT!
You should take your audience on a airboat adventure. Many to choose from in all parts of Florida.
FYI I sunk my airboat in the St Johns River.
We will... if we can.
Agree! And the “Chain of Lakes” boat tour in Winter Park (Orlando) is a great way to spend an afternoon!
I enjoyed the geography lesson with the map to put things in perspective. I'm trying to locate the shuttle company website mentioned that helps our military service men and women from MCO to The Villages if you have a link. Be safe and healthy.
