How
We Spent Our Summer Vacation
(or H2KHedo 2000) August
13 thru 18
This Trip Report will not be a day-to-day detail of our week at Hedo.
We did that last time (August 98), and just couldnt remember
everything, as the days seem to all melt into one after a while.
Instead, we decided to just outline the highs (there
were many) and the lows (there were a few), and leave the day-to-day stuff to
those with better memories than we have.
THE
TRIP: Can anyone tell me if an Air Jamaica flight has ever
left on time? Oh, well, one more
hour or so at LAX really cant hurt, especially when the gate is right next
to the bar with the best Margaritas weve had in a long time.
After a couple of those, we could have tried to fly to Jamaica without
the plane. Nothing wrong with
drinking a little more courage before a 5-1/2 hour flight.
Took the bus from Mo Bay to Hedo with a couple from L.A. who didnt
know until 2 days before that they were going to Hedo.
Had a Super Surprise from Superclubs and were told on Thursday
that their destination was Hedo. They
were happy to have us regale them with tales from our last visit.
CHECK-IN:
About as uneventful as can be.
We got the usual Go eat and come back, your room will be ready soon.
This was at 11:00 in the morning, and after eating an early lunch, we
went back and, not only was our room ready, we received the upgrade that we
requested at no charge (nude garden to nude ocean).
I think that booking with Dan Hill at Global Discount Travel (hill918@aol.com)
had something to do with getting the upgrade at no extra cost.
Thank you, Dan & Pat!
AMENITIES:
O.K., so its not Grand Lidonor is Grand Lido
Hedonism, once you step outside of their rooms. The rooms are functional, with the necessaries and no
flash. A comfy bed, CD player,
closet with safe, and a bathroom are all you need on the inside.
We used our room for getting ready for the parties and sleeping, and
not much more. Well, we came
inside a couple of times for sex, but it wasnt really necessary, it just
gave us a couple of more options for positions.
FOOD:
Main dining room is the social spot in the morning.
Whether you want to eat a power breakfast of eggs, bacon and
waffles, or go for the lighter fare of just fruit, or want something in
between, the breakfasts are great. And
you can tell who partied a little too much the night before just by looking at
the people at the tables. We ate
lunch at the nude grill every day, because it was just too damn hard to think
about getting dressed and walking all the way to the main dining room.
Besides, Roberts grilled cheese and turkey with fries is about as
close to heaven as you can get while still breathing. The Jerk Chicken that he serves at 6:00 each night is
incredible, too. It breaks up the
afternoons monotony (drinking, socializing, playing games and making new
friends), and is just perfect for sitting in the hot tub and munching before
the late afternoon activities get under way.
And for those of you who were in the tub with us on Thursday, Nena
really couldnt help the fact that she kept dropping pieces of
chicken in her lap and I had to keep eating them off of her ;-)
Pastafaris
was the hot ticket for dinner most nights.
The food was pretty good, the service pretty typical (slow), and the
atmosphere was great. The matred
for the week was Denva, and he was wonderful.
Each night, we made reservations for 8.
Each night we ended up with at least 12. There was one night that I let him know 5 minutes before our
reservation time that we really needed seating for 15.
He didnt miss a beat, and we all were seated within ten minutes.
It became a standing joke between us.
I would show up about 15 minutes before hand, and he would greet me
with How many more this evening?.
THE
PEOPLE: This is what we go to Hedo forthe people who come
here are the most down-to-earth people weve ever met.
We were fortunate to have met some fabulous folks this trip, and also
had the pleasure of enjoying the company of Bob and Alice, whom we met on our
last trip. We affectionately
nicknamed Bob the Professor, as hes been here 27 times and there wasnt
a question that he couldnt answer. Id like to say hi to all of the friends we met
this tripChris and Jan (our
newest bestest buddiesyou sexy lady, what are you doing with that perv? But
its a good perv!!!), Jason and
Maren (thanks for letting us enjoy your honeymoon with you),
Anthony and Charlotte (we
could not have met two nicer people), Richard
and Jeane (damn, you guys can party late!), Dave and Kari (you guys were wonderful for letting all of
us share in your renewal of your wedding vows),
Steve and Jill
(never have we seen two people party as hard as you and get up the next
morning ready for anything), Erik
and Liz ( L.A. needs more people like you twoso does Hedo, thanx for
the good times), and of course,
the Leeeziana Foursome of Rick and Claudette and Robert
and Chandra (damn, that Louisiana water must be good for you).
I
hope I havent forgotten anybody, if so, Im sorry.
ACTIVITIES:
OK, what I really mean isSEX.
Whether you are a voyeur or an exhibitionist (were both), you can
satisfy your desires. Bi
(females), into group or swapping, quickies, oral, looking to try something
new? Its all therejust hang
at the hot tub long enough, usually late afternoon / early evening and youll
see it (or participate in it). Late
evening is the time for the real show, however. What a way to meet new friends!
THE
DOWNERSL: Had
some weird things happen this trip, not sure if it is the norm and we just
kinda got spooked or what.
Went
into our room one afternoon and the phone rang within 10 seconds.
A Jamaican man called me by name, asked if I wanted to buy some pot,
coke, whatever, and said to meet him outside.
He was on a cell phone, I could hear the Hedo noise in the background.
While relating the story to our friends, one couple said they received
a call the previous night from a man asking if they needed anything.
They declined his kind invitation and when they left their room, a man
was standing in front of their door. Not
a guest, a local. Needless to
say, they were a bit wigged. The
next evening, about 3AM, I left our room to go get a drink, leaving my wife
there. As soon as I shut the
door, the phone rang and it was a man with an accent saying he watched her do
her husband and would she like to do it again.
I came back within ten minutes and she was shaking.
To make matters worse, our window had been broken into prior to us
getting the room and it didnt lock at all.
We went to management the next morning and after speaking with the
manager on duty, were assured they would do everything in their power to stop
this from happening again. I
explained that my biggest concern was the fact that the person who called knew
my name, so the info had to come from within the resort.
We saw more visible security for the next couple of nights.
VINNIES
& WALLIESL: Only
real problem was from 4 guys from Italy who felt it was their right to leer,
touch, whistle and, in one instance, bite a nipple that wasnt even offered
to them. They became so obnoxious
that our entire group would get up and leave when one of them would assume
themselves into wherever we were. One
of them actually got laid one day, in the grotto, and they built a wall of
lounge chairs and the others stood guard so no one would see.
The
rest of the single guys were great to be around. The ladies all felt comfortable with them, especially Hal,
everybodys favorite masseuse from No. Cal.
THE
TRIP HOMEL: Come
too soon, mon!
The
only regret we have is that we didnt spend another week there.
Next year, well be there for at least ten days.
Thanks to all who made our trip to the Happiest Place on Earth a
great time!!! See you all next August.
