Although I live in the same TPVH community as you did, I've never really been part of the whole Boca scene. And, in spite of the gestapo-like politics of the HOA, I love it here - for now. I've travelled to Spain, Thailand, Canada, Mexico and several Bahamas Islands and those travels were a great experience for a little gal from Pittsburgh. However, no matter where I went, it was always great to get back to the good old U.S.A. - even with all her problems. Still, I envy you your courage to really get out there..... Good Luck and keep the stories coming.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048350373484214697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650855331807355258.post-81466429830995054192010-08-25T20:21:46.937-07:002010-08-25T20:21:46.937-07:00Carol, the earth is God's country and i am so ...Carol, the earth is God's country and i am so grateful to you for inviting me to share a piece of it with you.

The beaches and natural beauty are incredicble and availble to see whenever you want. There is a price to live in paradise. And the homeowners associations exact that price from us. These HOA are fustrating, making us reach a point that you want to leave paradise.Spirituality And Reincarnationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010457113473101968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650855331807355258.post-47958387559116784392010-06-24T19:24:29.605-07:002010-06-24T19:24:29.605-07:00Your escape from a gated community, and indeed you...Your escape from a gated community, and indeed your escape from the constraints of living according to the normal structures of society, is definitely exciting!!! I am very excited to follow your upcoming adventures from my little hobbit hole here in Boca. At least I am not gated in... but I do get tired of feeling struck and trying to earn enough money to travel. You have a wonderful opportunity to go and be free, and you created that opportunity for yourself. <br />Yours truly, anxiously awaiting new posts, <br />EsteeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650855331807355258.post-76772164494733003142010-06-23T08:32:52.115-07:002010-06-23T08:32:52.115-07:00Hi Carole, Great description of that rarefied comm...Hi Carole, Great description of that rarefied community! I, too, have had my run-ins with homeowners associations and discovered to my surprise, that they are one of the most powerful legal entities in the US! Their laws are above the constitution, so when they decide to raise fees to pay for their shameful impatience gap, you have to pay! You summed up the scene there beautifully!<br />Jim GriffinJames Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935010239427391085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650855331807355258.post-41756457172860978542010-06-21T08:26:09.688-07:002010-06-21T08:26:09.688-07:00The freedom and education one encounters traveling...The freedom and education one encounters traveling is priceless.
