Looking at purchasing my first glider. The 2-22 appeals to me as it fits my budget and my goals of just easy fun and giving rides. Any advice?

The 2-22 is a simple, basic glider. It has better control harmony than a 2-33 and less performance. But especially when flying alone, it can be a floater. I've had the Wichita Soaring Association 2-22 at 10,400 feet above Sunflower in Kansas and spent a number of nice afternoons in it. If you are interested in just getting into the air and flying locally, it is a very economic way to have fun. It does not penetrate into the wind, but I still managed to have fun in windy Kansas.
