The Neighborhood
Green Valley is an adult resort community with 12 wonderful recreation centers offering a broad variety of activities including heated swimming pools during the cool months, tennis, handball/raquet ball, and exercise equipment rooms at several locations to serve our 30,000 + active population. Excellent library too. Many Europeans reside here as well as people from other nations (28 in all) plus all 50 states of the US. Southern Arizona is a mecca for birders who visit here from throughout the world. There are 9 gorgeous golf courses and several more within a less than 15 minutes drive. Some of the world's largest Astronomical observatories are located nearby due to our pristine sky and high mountains. The area abounds in history from Spanish Missions, to Cowboy and Indian lore (John Wayne, Stewart Granger and other movie stars owned ranches in the area and many western movies were filmed nearby. Loads of cultural events here and in Tucson as well as important art galleries (Tubac, 15 minutes away, has become the Sante Fe of Arizona with its impressive artist colony). Phoenix is only a 2 hour drive and the Grand Canyon 5 hours, all by superhighway, plus many important tourist destinations too numerous to mention.

The Dates
The Destination
We are totally open to new and previously experienced destinations, though we do appreciate shore locations and warm weather, try us, our motto is "nothing ventured nothing gained."
The People
We are Dick and Helen, retirees now, who found their place in the sun 34 years ago when we moved to metro Phoenix from the gloom of upstate New York and started all over again. After Helen retired and after having traveled the world in search of a retirement haven that suited us, we found it right in our own backyard and settled in Green Valley 8 years ago. We grow in love each day with this absolutely superb community. Our love affair with Arizona and its diversity also continues to grow. But now its time to travel again and experience the wonders of nature, diverse cultures and develop wonderful new friendships. After several friends extolled the virtues of Home Exchange, and considering its economics, we decided to become members. We just completed our 8th exchange in Ireland and #9 is coming up in October, 08 on an island off the coast of Maine. Dick formerly owned his own financial services company. Helen was an executive with the Arizona Department of Real Estate. We have four adult children, who reside in different areas of the US and four grandchildren. We are enthralled with the outdoors, fine wine and dining, jazz and classical music as well as meeting new friends.
