Second trip to Hedo II report:
This year we were properly prepared and arrived in Hedo II without any airport trauma like last year 's "this is NOT a valid birth certificate, Ma'm." Plus, last year I came home practically in a body bag because I played so much while at Hedo II. This year I promised everybody at home and told everyone at Hedo II that I was not going to play any reindeer games this year. But the gang at Hedo found one game I COULD safely play: when we dressed up in shaving cream to go cruise the beach at Sandals. We recruited 5 couples who were way too amused by us which makes me strongly suspect they were bored to tears.
We also had quit a bit of fun being nude cheerleaders for the nude volleyballers. But that sand is pretty darned packed and the full-twist somersault dismount wrecked my neck and I got a bruise! Boo, hoo! Sample cheer: "What about, what about, what about our color shout? Black, Green, Yellow, Nude, Nude, Nude, Nude, Nude.
WHAT WE LOVE BEST ABOUT JAMAICA:
FLASHBACK TO 1970: (this has a point, just stay with me) My husband (the same one I have today!!!) and I were moving, which for some reason back then called for ingesting a mind-altering substance and while we were engaged in a PDA (private display of affection) -- which often happens after ingesting such a substance -- I suddenly realized if I let myself have the orgasm that was coming I was going to die from it (I suspect the substance made me believe that) and I actually insisted we stop the PDA. And he did!!! This guy is amazing. He still lives with me to this day!! Anyway, not that I have any regrets because after all that orgasm WAS going to kill me I am certain, but I HAVE recalled it over the years and sure missed it----- it was going to be THAT good.
FLASH FORWARD TO JAMAICA, 2000: This year we hit the beach where we found a lady on a raft with "smoke on the water." Some of it got into my lungs. This was a problem as it has been 30 years of substance abstinence for me and I had absolutely no tolerance built-up, so it was quite effective on me. This sure ain't your father's weed!!! But, much like your father's weed, we had to quickly go to our room for some PDA and I FOUND THE LOST ORGASM!! And so did my husband and he didn't even know he had lost one! I faced death down this time because frankly what better way to die than while having THE orgasm in Jamaica!!!??? Woweee! But there is something way too strong about today's stuff and I prefer being more coherent in general.
The best part of Hedo II is the nonstop, as much as you want it, uninterrupted sex. Poor hubby: he got "dehydrated" but managed to rebound. Such a trooper. Both times we have been to Hedo II we overlapped with the tattoo people and the lifestyles people and it sure makes for some fine people watching. This year it was very crowded yet when the lifestylers left we were kinda let down and bored the next few days. It was just such a shock to go from such high activity level to practically "grandma's house." Not really, but there was a noticeable quieting down.
What is particularly neat about Hedo II is that you do make fine acquaintances and when they are there the next year it is like a family reunion but WITHOUT the relatives! Doesn't get much better than that!
FOOD AND ACTIVITIES: We must not be too picky because I find the food (any and all of it) just fine. It is tasty, way more vegetables than we normally consume and I figure -- Hey, I didn't have to cook so I sure ain't gonna gripe.
I liked the nude cruise on the catamaran to the Pickled Parrot but it did not include food so I''ll pass on it in the future. I think a few snacks could have been part of the price. Of course we were back in plenty of time for the next feeding so it wasn't like I starved but I need my sustenance.
Both years we have gone snorkeling on the scheduled boat rides but I find the snorkeling off the shore just as nice as going out on the boat so I won't be spending time on the snorkel boats in the future.
Next year we will probably try the Black River raft cruise.
And we need to spend more time shopping in Negril. We take a private taxi to the Hi-Lo market place and love the craft mart there as well as the various stores. Each year I get a gold charm: year one was a single dolphin in a circle of gold with "Jamaica" on it; this second year I found the double-dolphin similar charm I had seen last year and next year I hope to find the single large dolphin with the pearl -- unless there is some sort of "3" dolphin charm available.
We plan to get really married in 2001, since after all our first marriage in 1971 was with that "not a real birth certificate, Ma'm" piece of paper. My husband has hopes that he is not actually married to me because of that technicality but it's too late---I'll bet there is a statute of limitation on that point.
