Hey H,

 

Nice Pix, but you didn't have any of the egg truck or Domino's Pizza. You're slipping.:p

 

That church looks awesome and maybe I'll get to see Chichen Itza someday.

C. Imagine building that wonderful Cathedral in 1561. Magnificent.

Nice pics...I'll be going there in March. This gives me an idea about the area!

Beautiful photos. We loved Merida and are excited to be returning in January. Thanks for sharing.

[hdawson]

Glad you enjoyed the pics. I was beginning to think that nobody appreciated them. I'll be back in Merida for two weeks, late Oct.

I'd love to hear how that goes. I know there's a timeshare resort not far from there and I've wondered if it might be someplace we'd like to go spend a week.

That idea calls for a land trip to Merida. I've stayed at several hotels, all within the historical area. I'll be returning to the Hotel Caribe; a modest hotel on Plaza Hidalgo and a short block from the central plaza. It once was a Catholic school or convent and has a roof top pool overlooking the towers of the Cathedral. Sidewalk cafes are in front of the hotel for early morning coffee and people watching. Now that's relaxing.

Your hotel looks beautiful! I know you will have a great time. Our next cruise calls at Cozumel again (which I love because of the snorkeling) but I'd love to go back to Merida again. A land vacation might be better because one day in port at Progreso doesn't give you much time to see as much as I'd like.

Hdawson:

 

I've been looking at your pix and checked out the hotel.

 

Which airport do you fly into to get there?

 

TIA!

[hdawson]

Merida has a nice airport. Airport code MID. Taxi to hotels in Merida is $12.

GREAT photos, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great albums.

 

Definitely helping us plan our day in Progresso/Merida.

Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to this port as I have never been there. I plan on taking the tour bus and then stopping wherever we want.

[mountaingurl]

I love these pics. I'm now getting very excited about this port!

[aggie0811]

Thanks for the wonderful pics! I'll be sailing in just over a month and now that I've read your posts on here and seen your pics, I can't wait for our stop in Progreso!

I enjoyed your photos very much. We will be in Progreso/Merida in January and I'm just beginning to do research for this port. Your input has been most helpful. Thank you!

Angiem. It appears the site has shut down. If you'll email me at

hdawson228@aol.com, I'll be glad to send tons of pics of Progreso and especially Merida. And the ruins. It will take a week or two since I will be having heart bypass surgery tomorrow morning. Isn't that an optimisitc outlook? LOL

Hey H,

 

There is a lot to look forward to when you go in for surgery.

They give you a little drug cocktail. Dimerol and Vistaril. (sp?) Write them down and ask for them by name. I want more Dimerol. I've made a list of organs that I don't need.

 

*Quote from comedian, Tom Parks.

Keep in touch.

I would love to see them also when you are feeling up to it. I'll private mail you my email address. Hope you are feeling much better soon.

Debbie's-cruising,

 

Going to Progreso in March also and from Louisiana. This will be our first cruise and we are going the end of March, sailing on the Fantasy.

 

Anyone have any tips?
