John & Heidi - 09/00

September 5-13, 2000

Sorry our trip report was a little late in coming.  We came back to Hurricane Gordon and had a sailboat to weather through.  

How can we explain stepping into a fantasy so surreal?  You would not understand unless you have been there before.  This wont be a day to day expose.  Most of our memories we will keep in our thoughts and hearts.  If I dont I know that all of you have black mail on me, LOL!!  

Hedo II is the ultimate Adult Camp!! We heard stories, saw pictures, along with so much laughter.  Thanks to Marky, Robin, Dave, and Katie.  John and I went as Hedo Virgins; silently hoping our expectations werent too high.  Already extremely happy and forever in love, what more could there be?  Oh lord did we find out!! LOL!!  

If you let the magic of Hedo II immerse your soul, and let the wonderful people you meet, into your life, it will forever change you.  There can be of no other place on earth that lets you celebrate the whole you, anywhere else on earth like Hedo II.  

The bus ride from Hell was a great way to see part of the real Jamaica, and we are both glad we did.  We saw the children in their uniforms leaving school for home.  The little shacks where they live and sell their local goods.  It is a beautifully lush country that no one should miss seeing at least once.  

When we first left our room in bathing suits (definitely virgins), we didnt know which way to go.  Thank god for Godfrey our pool mon.  He walked us right down to the nude pool and hot tub.  As everyone turned around, we immediately began to strip and headed straight for the bar.  Hedo Virgins sometimes need a little liquid encouragement.  From then on through the night there were much PDA. We look at at each other and knew we were home away from home.  Life is good mon.  

John and I want to thank so many of you that spent so much of your time with us.  Steve and Jeanne, we have never laughed sooo much!! Jeanne was our group trooper with a broken foot less than 24 hours before the trip.  No one deserves to whine after being with these two for a week.  Her husband Steve powered Jeannes wheel chair.  I wont mention the name of who got Jeanne and I concubine lobsters that are not in season.  Thank you Steve, they were sinfully delicious.  Dave and Katie, thank you for getting our group together.  John and I were able to recognize and meet new friends immediately from sharing the e-mails, pics and late night instant chats.  Thank you also for sharing your baby oil dock game.  It was sooo much fun.  We had a practice run with Page, Michael, Jane, Bruce, Terri, and Michael.  I believe our practice version was a little different as I recall, LOL!!!  Picture the sex police coming out at night in a kayak trying to kick us all off the dock.  Along with all of our husbands calling him a perv. Too, Too funny!!  Marky and Robin, thank you for the head start with pics and stories.  Marky, you had John and I so excited that the wait was horrific.  So we practiced Toga and PJ night at home, which was a fun little diversion.  Boy, we will definitely change our outfits next year.  Speaking of PJ night, Annelise, youre just as much of a man as your husband Darrel.  For all of you that were there, youll understand.  Hysterical costumes you two!!  Darrel and Annelise were the ultimate Hedo Buck Sluts.  You put us all to shame.  If there were Hedo Bucks for Gonga, John would have significant stock in Hedo II, LOL!!  Michael and Page, our wild child.  Ill have a blue dolphin of my own shortly.  Thank you both for some of the funniest and crazy times.  Lets just say our horizon will be forever broadened.  Bruce and Jane were the earth kids of the group.  The two of you always went with the flow.  I know that was probably scary more then once.  Lenny, my personal shrink, you and Jackie are the cutest.  We hope to see you both back there next year.  Lenny, I liked the braids on you big time.  I wish I could have seen you go back to the office in them.  To our Brit David!!  We miss you mon.  You fit in with everyone and hopefully youll be back with us next year.  Although you might want to look in to spring break.  David came to Hedo for a Bender (Binge to the rest of us), and Bender he did.  After all, If you defused bombs in Ireland, Id want to go on a Bender too!  Stay safe our friend.  Alan and Brenda, you really got straight 10s honest.  We are redoing the rating cards for next year.  You were great sports for our sick and happy group.  Hopefully you will be planning the next trip around the same time.  Donna, our new and crazy friend.  After missing your return flight to the states for 3 days, we were all baffled by your final disappearance.  We love you and keep in touch.  A special thanks to Augusta our beach mon.  He took care of us like royalty the whole trip.  Although Steve seemed to be on his shit list most of the time.  All in fun, Augusta was quite a character.  I wonder if his grandchild will ever be named. Jacinda, ChokoBunny, and Benita, I'll be part of your pool fishing fluffing group any day.  That was tooo much fun.  The Catamaran cruise to the Pickled Parrot was killer.  The two bedrooms up front seemed to be full most of the time, LOL. As I recall, our group was enjoying some PDA time.  Island time is great mon. There were so many others that we met either on the way in or out that also made our stay so memorable.  We break into laughter with all of the memories you have shared with us.

Jane and Bruce beat Tim Air back to Montego Bay and met us there for the flight home.  They told us they were bumped to first class of NW, so I whined and we were bumped to first class also.  Only, we were in row 1 drinking champagne, and they were in the first row in coach.  What was with that you two!!  After our second drink, we didnt feel as guilty, LOL!!  It was hard flying home to Tampa, but I made sure John got a few more peaks and pics on the flight.  Lord has this trip changed our lives.  All I might add for the better.  We never thought it could get any better, and it just keeps on coming.  

John and I can now say that we are not Hedo Virgins any more.  We will keep in touch with our new friends and hope to see them all back in September.  Oh and yes the Jerk chicken is to die for.  And if you have any complaints about the ride, the water, the this, the that, then you didnt have as much fun as the two of us.  The fun more then outweighed any complaints so get over it. To our group, pics will be coming soon mon.

See you next year,

John and Heidi
