Ray & Annette - 03/01

March 2-9

I have delayed this report long enough. First, I want to thank everyone who posts trip reports and questions and responses on the message board. This site was such a wonderful source of information. We were so prepared as to what to take and see while at Hedo. However, there is one thing that you will never be prepared for if you have never been to Hedo before and that is the people and the atmosphere. It is something that has to be experienced and I must say it was one of the best experiences we have had in our lives. A special Hedo hug and kiss to our new friends Mark, Gina and Chris, Wendy and Richard, Shane and Thomas, Kathy and Phil, Theresa and Joe, and many, many others. Several of these people will be coming to stay with us in June when we have our annual pig roast and I cannot wait to see them again. Hedo friends become very near and dear friends.

ON TO THE TRIP REPORT

FLIGHT- This is the food everyone should be complaining about. It sucked coming and going. And this is the only thing worth mentioning about the flight.

BUS- My husband just had to try the bus trip. I wanted to go TimAir. But we read that you have to try the bus at least once. I am glad it is out of the way and we are still alive to talk about it. The driving is scary but I was more upset about the lack of A/C. The bus was very warm despite the A/C. The driver said it was on but I think he was out of freon. Anyway, the drive was interesting and in retrospect I am glad I can say we did it. We flew on one of the Cessna's when we went home.

Interesting statistic that I read in my research. Jamaica has the third highest fatality rate in the world behind Ethiopia and India. 343 fatalities/100,000 cars in Jamaica. 26 per 100,00 in America and 22 per 100,00 in the UK. My advice, take Timair or one of the other airlines.

AIRPORT - We arrived in Montego Bay to find out at the Superclubs desk that the resort was full and we were being bumped to another resort. We knew that this was a possibility and not necessarily a bad thing.

RESORT - We were bumped to Point Village which is valued at $90 US per night. You get the picture. Remember though, you are only sleeping here and have full privileges at Hedo and you get a voucher or a refund for every night that you are bumped. A free cab will be provided to take you back and forth but it is a stones throw away and you can walk it in two minutes and be in your room. We requested to be bumped to Lido as recommended on this board but were told that they were booked solid also. It really was not a big deal. We only slept and showered at that resort. The next day they had a room for us at Hedo. And on the nude side too. It put us one step closer to being nude. We opted to wait until the am to venture onto the nude beach. It was already past six when we got our room so we hung out at the bar and disco and retired early. This would be the first and last night that we retired early.

The next day we went to the nude beach in our suits and found beach chairs. We laid out our towels, stripped and got into our chairs. I was absolutely terrified. Now I cannot imagine why and can laugh looking back on things. About 15 minutes later I opened my eyes and looked around. No one was looking, I can breathe. Before I knew it we were talking with the couple next to us. Turns out they had made friends with the couple next to them that we had met on this website. Throughout the day we ran into many other people that I corresponded with here. My husband was amazed. On the beach, I recognized one woman by her tattoo that she had described to me in a letter. At dinner that night in Pastafari I called out the names of two women that walked by our table. One turned around and said my name in return. My husband was astounded. Then the icing on the cake was that night/morning in the hot tub when I heard an English accent from beside me and turned around and said the names of yet another couple and they responded with my name. It was like going to meet old friends. If you are going to Hedo I strongly suggest that you get to know people before you go. You will still meet many more people at Hedo that you did not meet previously but it is so much fun to plan some things ahead of time and get to know others beforehand. It is part of what makes the anticipation so exhilarating.

Also, make sure you participate in the games. Either as a participant or an observer.My favorite was find your mate. I not only found my lumpy knee husband but also identified a new friends husband by his knees also. It was hilarious. I grabbed his knees and said Hello. Antone, the EC, asked how I knew it was him. I knew because his wife had just given him a rub down with sunscreen and he was greasy. We participated in many contests and won a lot of Hedo bucks, 225,000 to be exact. But the hardest earned money was at lunchtime spin. Take my word for it when I tell you that the games on the nude side are much less physically demanding than on the prude side.

 

VERONICAS BAR - Make sure you go to the piano bar and see Dave. He is hilarious and he could charm a snake out of its skin. We watched him do this several times.

TIME FOR A SUMMARY - We fell into a routine pretty quickly at Hedo. Wake up, have sex, shower, go to breakfast, go back to room and drop off clothes, have sex. Pick up sunglasses, sunscreen, and towels. Go to nude beach. Fill your insulated mug at Delroys with your favorite drink. Lay on the beach chairs and float on a raft until it gets really hot. Then go up to the pool and hang out in the pool and the cool jacuzzi. (Great place to meet people) At some point, go to Roberts and have a jerk burger and fries or a ham and cheese and fries with plenty of jerk sauce. More time at the pool until it gets a little cool. Then into the hot tub until Chicken oclock (6pm). Go to Roberts and get jerk chicken and fish. Go back to the hot tub and share with a dozen of your closest friends. Stay in the hot tub until you get kicked out around 6:30. Go to your room and nap, indulge in your mate and shower. Go to dinner around 9 or 10pm. Spend time with new friends chatting and watching entertainment until 11. Go to the disco for the evenings activity. (i.e. toga night, pj party etc.) Eventually head over to Veronicas bar and then get a tray of beer and head to the nude hot tub until the sun rises or until you are too water logged to stay in any longer. Go back to your room have sex and then go to bed and repeat for as many days as possible. I strongly suggest that you do not ever go home. According to the CDC I had one of the worst cases of DIF they have ever seen. I am still trying to overcome my illness. They feel that the only cure would be to move to Hedo and take up permanent residence. However, my insurance refuses to cover this treatment. Therefore, I only take my dose of Hedo when I can afford it. Boy does healthcare coverage suck.

Hedo hugs to everyone and Enjoy, Indulge and Live life to the Fullest.
