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! 🤣
Enjoy your cruise! You did a great job with the show as usual.
Beautiful scenic cartride!
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!
You both are sure dedicated to still put out a video while on your cruise! Fun watching you and Tom on the cat boat ride. Gorgeous sunset and pictures! 🌅

You guys do a great job on the golf cart rides and the music is pleasing. To the person who doesn’t like the golf cart rides, they probably like just holing up in their house.
I love the cart rides! In fact, I wish there were more of them. I adore seeing all the beauty of The Villages since I can't be there. It's the next best thing!
Wow! A show while you are on vacation! Thank you for your diligence and kindness. Wonderful as usual and more appreciated than you know. 🎉

We like to eat at Sakura Japanese. I don't think you all like that kind of food but for those looking for decent Japanese food we like it and its nice service. Thanks for the video! Have a great time in Alaska!
Thanks for doing the show. Have a great time in Alaska.!
Thanks for Mailbag Monday. Enjoy Alaska.
We love the golf cart rides and the music and the both of you!❤️
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.

I enjoy the golf cart rides. After 6 years , My husband still has not purchased one yet.
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 🚢.

Keep doing the golf car rides please! On bubble rap loved the angle of the camera cause we saw the houses.
The best part I liked about the medallion was we could find our group members on the ship. So instead of running around looking for them I could check and see if in their cabin or shopping or eating a piece of chocolate cake at the International Cafe 🥰
Thanks for another great show, enjoy your cruise! 🚢
Another great video! Leo is a cute pup! Glad you're having a good time on the cruise. Praying for the guest with medical issues.

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.

Coming for our lifestyle visit Aug 8-15 (intentionally picked the 🥵 month to see if we can survive without melting). Loved the cat boat tour and might have to give it a try, time permitting. We might not want to leave the bubble.
Ask Amy segment was a great topic & talk on co trusties. I personally knew of a situation like this between 3 sisters 1 was for the home & money / finances other 2 for the medical, they were nurses. Caused a division between them for years! They now talk but not the same.Never fails what will ruffle the feathers! Thank you AMY🤗
Enjoy the cruise & Alaska!!! ❤
Thank you for posting the catboat video. I wasn't aware of that type of outing. I will try and book that during my month long stay later this year. I enjoy and appreciate everything that both of you do!

I watched the Cat Boat Adventure video! It was great! I loved this video, too ….. especially the roller coaster sound effects on the golf cart ride - I felt like I was on a roller coaster! I love the golf cart rides - I love seeing what’s out there and the music is a nice touch as long as it’s not too loud. I love your pet segment. Leo looked like a really sweet doggie! His Mama sounded sweet, too! Hope you have a great cruise. We’ve been to Alaska twice. Both times on a small boat cruise line where you can get up close and personal with wildlife and Mother Nature. See you when you get back❣️

I visited Juneau back in July 2016. Interesting town and beautiful scenery.
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.

We have a similar setup here in Sugarmill Woods, but it's not as nice. Ours is also susceptible to a fair amount of burglary.
