Many of our friends travel a LOT, some have a 2nd home and leave for the summer months, one set of friends were gone for 26 weeks in one year (she hates the heat here). I believe if you and your wife jump in with both feet into the clubs, you'll make many friends, and you'll enjoy the community.

Critters: What I've experienced in our yard/house: Rats, mice, snakes (outside), cockroaches, grasshoppers, flies, bees, wasps, tarantula, earwigs, beetles, scorpions, ants, moths, dragonflies, still not sure what it is but a giant black flying bug (looks like a small bird) and is very loud - and NO it's not a hummingbird. My biggest pet peeve are the wasps - nonstop in our pool while we're trying to enjoy it - we've both been stung. We lived outside of Phoenix and I don't remember having wasps in the poor or this many bugs - but our house was a new build, so landscape was not mature. We also currently live on a golf course (elevated) so we may have more bugs/critters because of the golf course. On the plus side we get to enjoy the hummingbirds, quail, rabbits and roadrunners almost daily, we also regularly see coyotoes on the golf course - in the winter months hear them many evenings.

Looking back - I wished we would have rented here for a few years before making the jump to retire here. As many have said - many people LOVE it here and would never move back, others (like me) don't and bail. If it's possible - try renting for a few years, see if it's a good fit for you and your wife.
Strange. We have not had those critters you speak of. Two roaches, some flies, and one dead bee. That's all we have seen. We have a monthly exterminator but only $35 so not a big deal. Way less than in Cali. Oh ya, we do have coyotes on our golf course though. We have seen those!

A new critter appeared in our bath tub today - looked like a centipede, so I can now add that to the list, LOL.
