Quotes: Can I drive? - We'll talk. There is no tasteful way to do this.... Will work for Hedo bucks! It's My turn!! Pissed as a fart!

Saturday - Welcome Home Mon! We met Jim and Lori at Mo Bay. We all shared a flight to Negril and Laurie got to fly the plane. We arrived at Hedo and as the two Lori's are filling out the paper work, I scouted the prude pool and scored some towels and drinks. Once supplied, we made our way to our rooms. We were in H block 2145 and 2147. I was surprised that we would get a room at 11:00 AM, but Hedo is full of surprises!!! Jim's Lori was very surprised as I dropped my shorts on the path to the nude pool. We spent most of the day in the pool and hot tub. Laurie and I snuck away early that night to spend some quiet time in one of the beach hammocks. There is no place in this world like a beach hammock after dark, enjoying the gentle roll of the ocean, the stars, the lights of Negril and your sweetie!!

Sunday - I don't actually remember Sunday. I do remember meeting Jamie, Kristin, Holly and Kevin around noon, but not much else. Hmm, is there a correlation? I will use Sunday's space to say that it rained every day we were there at about 1pm. The rain lasted for at least one hour to several hours. We typically moved to the hot tub and started happy hour. I love happy hour!! The rain wasn't really all that bad, as we didn't have to deal we the afternoon sun.

Monday - A bunch of us caught the 11:00 AM snorkel trip and had fun taking pictures and seeing all the fishes. At Happy Hour, Ed brought out the dirty dice and Laurie played Julie McCoy in the hot tub. She was the hostess with the mostess! Some people were surprised to see Laurie come so far out of her shell, but I have seen the pool toy part of her persona before, no problem mon!! We went to dinner at Pastafari's that night. We had a reservation for 14 but it grew to 16 by the time we found the door. That was the first time I saw the "No Problem Mon" attitude disappear as we were chastised for bringing too many people. To give everyone credit, adjustments were made and by the time William and Tawanna came in, we were up to 18 people. Dinner was great as usual! After dinner we went to Veronica's sing along with Piano Dave. Lori and several other ladies got on top of the piano for a titillating version of Satisfaction. A 20 something hard body got up and took it all off - much to our delight and her surprise!! Wahooo!!

Tuesday we did the booze cruise on the catamaran. The gang did the usual swing, jump and slide at the Pickled Parrot. The ladies enjoyed a foot massage from Steve and we all mooned the other resorts on the way back. A Jet Ski rider soaked the folks on the bow of the catamaran with a rooster tail from the Jet Ski then promptly wiped out, very funny!! Someone brought the dice out at happy hour and the game continued. Too many Mud Slides left Laurie a little wobbly, but she is a trooper and we made it to dinner. Lori, Laurie and Ali participated in the Battle of the Sexes. PJ night was impressive, especially Kevin and Ali's award winning bondage jammies.

Wednesday morning I did the 11:00 scuba dive with Dive Master O'Neal. Laurie was supposed to dive with me, but she was feeling a bit of her own decompression sickness so she stayed on the beach. The dive as good, though other than the fish traps, I don't remember anything extraordinary. Wednesday night was Toga Night and we had a great time!! After happy hour we met in Peter and Janet's room for a toga tying session. Everyone looked great, and the party rocked!! Ali won Most Revealing and Peter and I shared the best Roman toga award.

Thursday was Jim and Lori's last full day. They went shopping w/Kevin and Ali while we hung out on one of the rafts in the ocean. Jim from Tampa organized an invasion of the prude beach to capture clothing, but an activity coordinator who wouldn't let us go on the prude side naked, foiled us. With our mission scrubbed, Jamie saved the day with a water balloon launcher and a several bags of BIODEGRADABLE balloons. We had great fun bombing the gawkers on the Sandals boats. The guys pulling the banana floats had as much fun as we did as they returned several times with the banana full of targets (people) The rain came down and we moved to the tub, which was very active. Dan and Colleen arrived from Ohio and we also found Ron and Cindy from Ga. - all friends from our last visit. Dinner that night was followed by an aggressive shot campaign that was started by Nathan. The main bar staff was great as they mixed up six rounds of shots for 18 people. The full bellies really prevented any of us from getting too bent. The mood was set though as we stormed Veronica's to see Piano Dave. The opening act was foot massages for all the ladies around the piano and along back wall. Five guys messaging each woman was quite a site and we made some new friends. The men received pay back when the girls did a strip show on the piano as we sang Twist and Shout! Holly and Piano Dave dueled with a spicy version of O'Henry that was hilarious. I returned from a trip to the lue to see Nathan, Peter, and Kevin on top of the piano taking it all off!! From Veronica's it was back into the hot tub until almost 4:00 AM.

Friday - We ran the usual shopping errands. We met with the gang and organized a trip to Rick's to see the sunset. Once at Rick's, it rained. With no hot tub available, we were a bit out of our element. Peter and I noticed the Wild Thing catamaran leaving with a load of tourists on board. We gave them a fine Hedo send off and mooned them from the main bar at Rick's. Someone accused us as being from Hedo, (I think they recognized Peter's heiney dance) so Laurie flashed him to prove him right. We made a quick exit back to the Hedo bus and returned for dinner. The show that night was the circus act, and honestly we were bored so we hit the tub early. The grounds crews were doing some bulldozer work on the beaches for the up coming Jerry Springer visit, so it was not very peaceful. The hot tub temp was much cooler than previous days, so we hung out for about an hour and packed it in.

Saturday - Time to bug out. We packed up and were on the front steps at 8:00 am. Very Sad!!!!

This was our second trip to Hedo and by far the better trip. The food, the accommodations, the grounds, the staff, everything was wonderful!! Hedo is not about the material things, it is about the people you meet and the experiences you share. Thank you Denny for the great web site and thank you Chris for the great Hedo book, it helps ease the DIF. 729 days and a wake up..
