First time snowbirding advice
Hi All. Just recently decided to leave the corporate world and retired early. Still have personal business interests but now my time is my own. DW and I are thinking of spending the last three week...

The first year we were retired we traveled down the east coast as far as the Keys then came back up and crossed to the west coast, then to central FL and finally landed for a little over a month in Lady Lake. Partly because of elderly family being nearby and partly because we found the area to suit what we required we returned to Lady Lake the next two years and are committed to staying there for the foreseeable future. We stay at Recreation Plantation, which isn't the least expensive campground in the area, but meets our needs well.
This past winter we were there from just before Thanksgiving through early April and compared to PA winters the weather is balmy. Last winter we had a light frost a couple mornings, but I never had anything heavier than a sweatshirt on and only wore long pants about three times. Obviously it isn't on the coast, but we can be to either coast in about an hour and a half. The area is busy during the peak season mostly due to the proximity to the Villages, but that is also a benefit since it allows for a lot of activities and shopping/dining facilities being close by.
