Vic and I retired a few years ago, he from a 26 year banking career and then real estate, and myself from 15 years in real estate (and parenthood). We moved to Calgary, Alberta from Cranbrook, British Columbia (Canada) 3 years ago as both of our daughters and our two grandchildren live there. We travel a fair bit, spending our winters in Mexico and travel in Canada throughout the summers, when we're not home enjoying family. We have become avid pickleball players in the last 3 years and try to play everywhere we go! We have a small dog that we share custody of with special friends whenever we are out of country.

Read More...Such a good home exchange experience. Deb & Vic are excellent hosts with a great apartment looking out to sea who treated our home perfectly. We would not have guessed they were first-time exchangers. The car was very suitable although we did not drive a lot in Mexico. Communication was regular and appropriate. Progresso is a small regional costal location with lots to see and do nearby. Flamingos, cenotes and Uxmal Mayan site were highlights. A much more authentic home exchange experience than the regular tourist haunts. Yucatan overall is very accessible and friendly. Mexico's bus service is as impressive a transport system as you will find anywhere. We highly recommend them as home exchangers who will respect your property and provide all that you expect from Homelink members. We look forward to growing friendship into the future.

The car was a similar age and style to ours so we felt very comfortable driving on the "wrong side" of the road. Communication was regular and appropriate. Calgary is a big modern city with lots to see and do. We highly recommend them as home exchangers who will respect your property and provide all that you expect from Homelink members. We look forward to growing friendship into the future.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
In a quiet area of a Mexican fishing village that becomes host to cruise ships 2 or 3 times per week. Progreso in the Yucatan is close to such amazing archaeology as Chitzen-Itza, Uxmal, Ek Balam, Xcambo and many other ruins as well as an endless number of cenotes (fresh water pools formed with the peninsula's natural limestone). Lots to explore and enjoy, while enjoying amazing weather year round. The beach is 100 meters from the condo complex and while the buses are definitely older, the transit system is frequent and very inexpensive making it convenient to get around throughout the area without a car, if so desired.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
From our condo you can walk along the Golf of Mexico beach for about 3kms to reach either the downtown of Progreso to the west, and Chicxulub to the east. Progreso is home to the largest pier in the world at 6.5 kms long, allowing cruise ships to visit us regularly. Chicxulub is home to the giant crater than ended the dinosaur era when it hit the earth and caused massive fires and flooding. The beautiful colonial city of Merida is just a half hour's drive (or bus) south of the Golf, and very much worth visiting. This is where you would fly into, although some people choose to fly into Cancun and take the bus or rent a car to come the 4 hours west to Merida and Progreso.

No smoking allowed. Guests need to be able to climb stairs as our condo is on the third floor (hence ocean view with only one row of single story houses in front of us), and we have no elevator. The complex swimming pool is for public use and the pool is only available for use between 8 am and 8 pm. Please be sure the complex gate is kept locked when you enter or exit the complex.
