Hi all,
We would like to start off by saying that his trip had to be one of the best yet. We were there from January 18th through January 27th 2002. We really got the chance to get to know other members of the group even better than before. It was really great seeing everyone again. Special Thanks to the Web Gang Coordinators, Vince, Bridget, Gerry and Irene, you all did a wonderful job and really made the Web Gang a force to be reckoned with. Kudos and keep up the great work, it really is appreciated by all members.
Now for the trip. We arrived in Negril a day earlier than our reservation at Hedo. Thought it would be a good idea to rest up for the week ahead. Boy were we right, will probably do this from now on. We stayed at Hidden Paradise, a small resort about 3 miles from Hedo. Very nice place, although a warm shower the next morning would have been a good addition. It seems they had a small problem with the propane tank. Gerry found this out on Sunday morning. Spent most of the afternoon at Hedo helping V & B and G & I pack all the goody bags for web gang members. Spent the evening eating Mr. Biggs Jerk Chicken on the strip in Negril and just hanging out with friends for the night. Into Hedo by 10 the next morning ready to party.
Saturday and Sunday were rather subdued due to the big changeover in guests. Basically spent the 2 days getting reacquainted with friends, meeting the new staff members and saying a big hello to the ones we knew from last year, Lucky, Patrick, Paul and David. The new members did an excellent job in my opinion. The girls are an absolute riot. They include, Lucky you still look great girl, Roxy a real fox and so sweet, Ashley has a great voice and can move with the best of them, Shelley Ann I can only hope to have a waist like hers and Marcia and Allison, we didnt get the chance to talk with either of them to much. I hope I didnt forget anyone. And the guys, Patrick, a real sweetheart and friend, Paul who we got to know a little better this year, David, can really move on the dance floor and Junior a sweet guy, wish we had the chance to get to know him better.
Monday brought the whole group together with a Glow night theme. What a party. It is always great to see the imagination of the Web Gang. And B, dont worry about the dry cleaning, what are friends for. Glad I had something to help you out. Who knows, maybe next trip we can go shopping together in New York. This was a really fun night and I want to Thank Angie for her thoughtfulness in trying to make an outfit for me. I really appreciated it, even though I already had one for the night. We all received a few interested looks from other guests. Guess they wish they were having as much fun as our group was.
Tuesday was PJ night and the Renewal of Mark and Lynda's wedding vows. It was a beautiful ceremony on the beach and the reception after was very nice as well. It is great to see a couple still in love as much as they are. We would like to say Thank you to the both of them for inviting us to share this day with them. PJ night is always interesting with the Battle of the Sexes. I think this was the best Fake an Orgasm Contest I have ever witnessed. I have to admit that I was actually rooting for the men in this contest. Monty did an absolutely sextastic job. The other part of the evening that I actually voted for the men was during the cross dressing part. Our beloved Sasha won again. 3 years in a row. Wonder if that is a record or if we should just crown him the Queen of Battle of the Sexes. Just kidding Sasha, we love you. Thanks go out to your lovely partner, Patti, for letting you borrow her clothes. That takes quite a woman to help her man dress as a woman, even at Hedo. Can't forget the best part of the day, Thanks to I and G for letting me join in on the raft. The 5 of us put on quite a show for the on looking boats. I will never hear the words Hi mom again without laughing.
Wednesday was the only day the Web Gang did not have a lot going on. My memory is a bit foggy, but I think we spent a good part of the afternoon on the water slide this day.
Other than that, it was just hanging on the nude beach and talking with friends. Wednesday evening was the repeaters guest party. I think the Web Gang was the loudest of all the groups, but that is how the whole week went. It just goes to show you who was having the most fun. Later in the evening, we had a Birthday Party for one of the members. J was laid on the stage and covered with chocolate sauce, caramel and other goodies and all the women of the Web Gang helped lick him clean. What a sweet birthday surprise for him. Although when he sat up and saw the guys standing there with chocolate all over them, he had quite a shock. The birthday party ended in the Piano bar with him and his wife both doing a striptease. For first timers they were a big hit.
Thursday was shopping in Negril at the Times Square Mall and the Toga night. Shopping was a blast. WE had quite a group this year and everyone went their separate ways to shop, but we all got together before we left and took some great shots for the families to see. After shopping we had an hour or so to get ready for the toga party. I got a little bit more daring this year than any other in the past and got pulled on stage for the most original toga, s couple of scarfs and some gold tassels. Came in second to two other members of the group, Tim and Cheryl. It was no competition. I knew I could not win against them with their painted on Togas, Go Canada. Craig won for the worst tied toga. Not that it was that bad, but with all the Web Gang voting for him and many of the coordinators helping, he won hands down. Or was that Toga down. Needless to say it was a great night with many new memories for us. Now I have to think of something to top it next year. Good thing I have 10 months to plan.
Friday a group of us went horseback riding in the mountains and on the beach. What a beautiful day and the scenery is just magnificent. Everything went well until my horse decided he wanted to run. No amount of pressure on my part would slow him down. Little did I know that B's horse took off after us. Things would have been fine if her horse had slowed down to a stop, but he decided to run into the horses in front of him, throwing B to the ground. I have to say she is braver than I am, because she got right back on the horse and finished the ride. She was a little bit sore that day and the rest of the weekend, but hopefully has made a full recovery since. It was a great group and mostly a fun day. On our return to the resort, we had to get ready for the Mardi Gras party in the disco. This was for all members of the Gang and a good time to be had by all. The outfits were creative and sexy. Although I would like to know how C and G both ended up in the same outfit without talking beforehand. I guess great minds think alike. The resort gave the WebGang 8 free nights to give away to members. Craig and I won two of the nights and can never thank the coordinators enough. What a pleasant surprise and they will come to good use next year. Although we are still trying to decide how to use them. Extra nights or pay less for the same amount of days. Whatever we choose, I know we will enjoy them. The other winners included B & S, B & P and H & G. Congratulations all. After the party in the disco, we moved it to the Japanese restaurant. I think we are the first group to break the dress code, but dressed for dinner or not, this is a must for anyone to try. Just be prepared to wait in line for a day or two in order to get reservations. Every night was booked full before 9:05 each morning. Not much to say, other than the food, the chef and the company were the best there was. Tried a little bit of everything and it was all delicious.
Not much to say about Saturday and Sunday, Mostly a day of relaxing on Saturday. At least until Sat night, when 10 of us went to Pastafaris for dinner. Again the food and the company were terrific. The atmosphere was extremely sexually charged. I guess it is a good thing we didn't get thrown out. To G, I want to say sorry we didn't get to finish the evening the way we planned, but there will always be another time. To everyone else there that night, had a great time and can't wait to do it again next year. It was a fun way to end the week. Sunday was spent relaxing in the morning and saying goodbye to all our friends from lunch time on. I have to say, Other than the year Craig and I got married, this had to be the best year yet. We got better acquainted with many of you and miss you all very much. It was hard to leave the resort and return to reality. We are now back on the countdown for 2003. With any luck there will be a few mini Web Gang reunions throughout the year. 12 months is to long to go without seeing friends.
