Steve & Jeanne - 09/00

We have just returned from our first trip to Hedo II. It was everything we expected and more. Both Jeanne and I would like to thank Denny for this site as it was most helpful in planning our trip. We would also like to share with those who are planning a trip, those who are considering a trip, and particularly to those who have participated on the message board.

First, thanks Alan and Brenda for your prompt report. Jeanne and I feel like we have truly made new, wonderful friends from Southern California (we hope to be talking to you soon). A quick note to all of our new hedo friends (and if I have left you out, it's only because I am still brain dead, both my mind and brain somewhere in Veronica's), John and Heidi (yes I had tears in my eyes, too), Brian and Karen (the best hippie on the face of the earth), Bruce and Jane (the most fun boring couple we have had the pleasure knowing), Daryl and Annalesa (the original hedo buck sluts, we love you both), Dave and Katie (video has been fully edited), Marky and Robin (you are lucky you still own that whistle), Andrew and Alix (proof that opposites do attract), Bill and Rick and the entire "damn group", Greg and Donnette (we haven't decided who has the better looking ass), Donne and Claudia (you truly are sick, to be able to enjoy Veronica's t its fullest), Sterling and Tamra (I better keep my thoughts to myself, think of us when you use the oil), Dwayne and his magic fingers (Jeanne says thank u), John and Judy (would have loved to known you better), Pete (please get your life together - you are too great of a guy to waste a single minute), Donna (we're not sure you are for real, but who cares when you are around friends),Tom and Sharon (the most polite couple we have ever met, the South does have much to offer), Michael and Paige (mr. nice guy and wild woman), Art and Jennifer (his smile and her laughter infectious), and the rest.

I must get something off my chest. We've read all the reports. We've monitored the message board for four months. People. Get a life.

Hedo is not about what we forgot to bring. Hedo is not about delayed flights. Hedo is not about lousy roads, and bus rides from hell. Hedo is not about having sex on TimAir. Hedo is not about small rooms, or noisy areas, or poor water pressure, or impossible air conditioners. Hedo is not about poor menus, or small drink glasses, or rude waiters. Hedo is not about these or any other negative things you can think of. What Hedo is, is an experience you will never forget. Hedo is a place where new friendships made may last forever. Hedo is a place where you will return, because you love the people, the country, the culture, the absolute insanity that you will experience. Hedo is a place where you may find your own little or big way to give back. Hedo is a place where you will learn about trust. Hedo is a place where you truly will appreciate the word respect, and learn the Jamaican way to communicate it.

My wife broke her foot 12 hours before our flight left Los Angeles for Montego Bay. For some, this may have ruined a trip. For us, it was simply a temporary set back to a trip we will cherish forever. Go and enjoy. We chose to be nude. But, it doesn't make any difference. You will come away with a new appreciation of you and life itself.
