We are back regretfully. This report will convey our experiences as a whole and not day by day, which I couldn't do any way since the days do seem to mesh together. This report will only be accurate as it pertains to the nude side because we never got over to the clothing side, what would have been the use.

Air Jamaica was one of the best experiences on an airline I have ever had. As a professional pilot I was impressed with the professionalism in which they did their job. We rode the bus both ways and found it to be an educational experience. I would highly recommend every one ride the bus at least once. For me to advocate riding the bus over flying is very unusual. I will fly from now on though. The ride took about 1.5 hours which did not seem very long since we were in the company of a great bunch of people. I won't name everyone but you know who you are. Thanks a million. A yahoo website was set up for the people going the same week we went. For several months before we went we really got to know a great number of people very well so when we got there we really were among friends. Every one made us feel at home and this was a huge help when the time came to get down to the bare facts.

The facilities were in very good shape and well laid out. The rooms were an average room you would find at any hotel here in the U. S.. The lobby and dining room was pretty cool with its open air arrangement. The grounds were kept very clean as were the pools and beach area. There was always someone cleaning something. For what hedo is supposed to be I would give the facilities a 10.

The food was actually very good for an open air cafeteria feeding 500 plus people at every meal. The consistency could have been better but was good considering the amount they were preparing. The nude beach grill was good, fresh and cooked to order. The jerk chicken at Roberts was too fine, this should not be missed at any cost. I would rate the food an 8 overall.

The activities were plentiful and something for everyone. We witnessed the nude twister and boy were there some interesting positions. The body painting was also interesting, we did not participate in this but knowing now there is a community shower afterwards I suspect I will not miss this event in the future. We did go snorkeling and was impressed with the level safety the guys showed. The PJ party was fun with lots of creativeness as was the toga party. I did not realize there was so many ways to tie a sheet. Neither of these events should be missed. One event we did miss was the nude cruise so we took a taxi to Rick's Cafe and did jump off the cliff 3 times. Jumping off the cliff is a must do, an unbelievable experience.

We had our share of these but they certainly did not dampen our party. The vinnies were the most intrusive but when put in their place they seemed to chill out and take it much easier. The wallies were for the most part a great part of our society because these guys are older and have lived most of their lives and given the opportunity could give us all a good lesson on living life as people. The wallies we met will certainly be welcome next year.

The sex was there if you were in the right places. The nude hot tub was the most active in the late evening, although pda could be found any where you looked, on the beach, on a raft, in the pool or in a hammock. It was the business of the persons involved and no one else. People will look and will applaud if you have done your job well. If you are going to have pda do you best job, you will be graded. The sex police were there but never interrupted anyone as far as I could tell. Myself and three beautiful ladies did achieve a successful triple butt chug and yes each plate was cleaned. Single guys were in abundance and some were successful and most were not, Hedo does not guarantee sex. If you have good social skills you will probably be successful, if you don't then you will go away with a sour taste in your mouth about hedo not being a great place. It won't be because hedo is a bad place but because you had the wrong idea about what hedo is all about.

Over all Hedo II was everything we had envisioned and more. It was a total blast. It is a place that open minded people can come together and party without repercussion from anyone. As it has been said before you may do things at hedo that you would not do at home because you will not see these people again, you will see them again next year when you return to hedo. Many people equate nudity with sex. This cannot be further from the truth. Sure there is sex at hedo, but that is not what hedo is, hedo is people. We forged friendships which I am sure will last a lifetime. To all the great people that impacted our lives last week thanks for the memories. Memories I am sure we will add to next November.

I applaud your efforts in maintaining this web page. It was an invaluable learning tool for us. Your efforts here have made it possible for thousands of people from all over the world to get together and become friends. In all my years as a pilot flying to various parts of the U. S. and the Caribbean and making friends in many places I have never had the experience making friends as I had last week. Thanks for helping make our experience a great one.
