You gotta go! You just have to go. You've been reading the letters and
maybe even Chris Santilli's book, The Naked Truth about Hedonism II (so
useful for us and it was sent quickly and personalized by her) and they are
hard to believe. Believe 'em. Get the bucks together, take a deep breath
and book the trip. You've been to Disney and Mickey is nice. You've been
to a national park and ain't the trees beautiful. You've stayed at a Hilton
or Marriot and isn't everything so proper and businesslike. Hedonism II is
multiple choice letter D: None of the above. The others are good but on the
pleasure scale, they don't come close to Hedo. You will see or be a part of
things that just don't happen at those other places. Why? Figure it out.
First, there are no children around. You newlyweds may not fully appreciate
that but take my word for it, it's good. Next, it's hot, literally and
figuratively. This makes is easy for people to shed their inhibitions and
their clothes. Add remoteness. Jamaica isn't a short drive down the
highway so you aren't going to bump into anyone from work. Lastly, there
are no cares. The food, the entertainment and the drinks are free and
available all the time. You just have to go.
My wife of 20 years and I went on our first trip July 17-22 and it was
like a 2nd honeymoon. We plan to go back as soon as possible. We had an
exciting, adventurous, romantic, fun and sexy stay there and left with our
marriage better than ever. At the airport while waiting for the bus, a
couple asked us if we were going to the "brothel". I had heard that
Hedo II
was sometimes referred to as the zoo but this was a little different. I
said yes and we continued to talk. The conversation wasn't finding any
common points to it and when the husband mentioned that it was an elegant
place and very high class, my face began to redden a bit as I realized that
they were going to Grand Lido BRACO! Just as well, I thought as I was
starting to wonder if other stiff couples like them were going to Hedo.
You won't get too many details from us as Hedo, and I'll quote a special
friend there, is like a "no-tell motel". But we will share some
anectotes,
experiences and advice. We wish some friends, acquaintances and visitors
from that week will read this and write back as we don't know how to reach
you otherwise. Sharon and Mike helped me out that first crazy night when,
after a long day of travel, stress, excitement and drinking, I thought I'd
be cool and toke up at a table outside the dining hall. Well Jamaican ganga
is like rocket fuel. It knocked me on my ass. Literally! Being put on a
stretcher isn't the way to start a vacation. Our new found friends helped us
both and stayed with us until I was fine again. A friend in need is a
friend indeed. Anyway, my suggestion would be to have one drag and wait 15
minutes or just stick to alcohol. Alicia and John and Rick made our week
fun at dinners and the special events. There were so many others we met or
saw such as Deb and Jim, Skip and Kathy, Celest and Jim, Richard and Mia the
wonderful singer (the answer to your question is yes!) and the many people
who partied, participated and were friendly making it a fantastic week. To
the others we never met, our room in H block had the sign in the window that
said Hedo II is number I and the roman numerals were represented by
"toys" I
had brought along. Toys? Use your imagination. I also wore a Hedo hat
with a "Kiss me I'm a streaker" button from my college days attached
but
alas, I left it one evening at the hot tub and it diasppeared.
My wife and I have a few tips and observations to add to the others in
these letters. I should first mention that although I am doing all the
writing, she is even more passionate about this place than I am. We were
glad that we spent a month going to a tanning salon so we didn't have to
worry about the sun as much. Men should go to the local adult store and
stuff a suitcase with every crazy item they can afford. Some will go over
well and some will go back in the suitcase quickly but you'll have a lot of
fun with them in any case. She should go buy some "slutwear".
Remember,
there are no kids here and you're allowed to be a little more revealing.
Which brings me to something that just doesn't seem to make sense. How can
she shed her clothes all day but be embarrassed if her dress is a little too
"revealing"? Men should not underestimate the power and importance
clothes
have to women. Her first question when this trip was decided upon was,
"What will I wear". It's a Venus Mars thing, I guess. On the subject
of
nudity: just keep an open mind and go with the flow. On the first day we
stood at the nude bar; me au naturel with a drink and she in a wrap and
t-shirt saying, "I don't think I can do this. I just don't think I can do
this!" She thought that all eyes were on us but the truth was that we were
just part of the crowd. After about 10 minutes of this (it seemed like
FOREVER) we both scooted into the hot tub wearing smiles. An hour later she
was like a Hedo veteran. Who could figure? My line to her was to just not
THINK about it. If she thought about the nudity around us, she would only
get more nervous. If I thought about it, it could quickly become REAL
OBVIOUS. In private we winked at each other and said, "Time to start
THINKING" and THINKING never before was so much fun! We suggest that you
bring something for the local disadvantaged population. A full travel bag
of school supplies for the kids are inexpensive and do so much. While we
are playing and spending four figure vacation sums, the children's lives are
real and we can leave behind more than memories. Bring an open mind about
others and just as important about yourselves. There are possibilities at
Hedo that you won't have elsewhere. So go. You just gotta go.
