Where to begin?
Flights?A nightmare if you live in Spokane
Washington,red eye flights, takes about 16 hours travel time,10 hours in the
air,four plane changes and there you are in Montego Bay ready for the fun
drive to Negril.Does this tell you how badly we wanted to come to Jamaica?The
miracle of this trip was that every flight was on time,no nasty flight
attendents,and out of eight flights we even got one sandwich,and 7 bags of
nuts.Living the high life!
We spent our first seven nights at the Negril
cabins,laid back very romantic,with a beautiful beach(bloody bay) pretty much
to our selves.As a travel agent I was compelled to do several sight
inspections at small intimate hotels I had not seen before.Did some of the
Negril nightlife scene enjoyed Alfreds alot.Went out to Little Bay in the
middle of nowhere to check out some land a friend of mine from Chicago owns
and met some of his friends,very interesting day with the locals.
Finally,our way too short trip to hedo II.The
reason I only planned three nights was because I was the one who was pretty
apprehensive,not the hubby.Big mistake,should have done more time at hedo
cause we loved it.This message board really helped me to get comfortable with
this very new style of vacationing for me.I was pretty proud of myself when we
arrived,thought it would take a day to get to the nude beach,and it only took
me three strong drinks and then within twenty minutes we were in the nude
pool.Low and behold the first people we met were people I chatted with on the
board,the hedo welcome wagon,Liz,Chuck,Pat,Rupe.Although it took me about a
day to be totally comfortable being nude I immediately realized this was just
a bunch of really nice people who are very much open minded and comfortable
with themselves and their bodies.As Martha would say "A Very Good Thing".
Only had one experience in the pool that was not
pleasant,just walked away two times and he got the message.Every one else
respected us and did not touch without asking.The experience at the hot tub
with the Vinnies on our last night was a drag,because I was really opening up
to being truly hedonistic and they blew that experience for us.No one has
really answered my question about handeling that situation when I posted it.Is
it best to just leave like we did,or do you say something to the creeps?
Must admit the only other negative comment would
be "THE WALK".Dang the bathroom is far from the bar at the nude pool.Didn't
mind passing thru the whole area to do my thing.But the more I drank the
more I was worried I would slip and fall.Would like to suggest to the
resort that they put in more convienient washrooms.Every person I talked
to felt the same way.Must also admit I was looking forward to some of the
silly stuff like nude twister,boobs and butt contest,wet t shirt etc.There
were none of the above while we were there,and none of the activity personel
from the resort came to the nude pool to get us going.Love to play silly
games!We did participate in toga night and caught the last part of the beach
party which seemed to end early.The only thing I can figure is that it is slow
season and the place just isn't jumping like it normally would be.
As I had heard the rooms are very so so,food was
good,people were fantastic!Made new friends,and momments we will smile
about as long as we live.Next visit WILL be longer.Already have a couple more
trips planned for the near future.
J&J will return, peace and love to all our new
friends.
