T3 Trip Report
I am a 42 year old woman and I was a Hedo virgin.
No more, Mon.
I was the person who read almost every trip report and looked at
every picture that I could find.
I read all of the posts thread by thread trying to gather as
much information as possible about this place that my best friend
had raved about enough to make me want to go.
I was the person who wondered (re: obsessed) about how I would be
able have my clothes off in front of a lot of other people….and then
when I did put on clothes, would they be the right ones??
I read Hedo Ricks Hints (which are very good) and I went out and
bought each and every thing on the list.
I read about decorating doors/rooms and bought a bunch of
stuff to do that. I
spent $200 at Rite-Aid before my trip on medicines and other
accoutrements that I thought I had to have to make the trip
“perfect”. The whole
“going to a foreign country….gotta have
everything” mentality.
I brought two suitcases (plus a carry on!) totaling about 85
pounds…..12 pairs of shoes (mostly FMP’s)……a slew of slut-wear….way
too many “regular” clothes and a bathing suit (what WAS I
thinking??).
So, this trip report is for all of you other virgins looking to grab
a little Jamaican sunshine and jump with two feet into Hedo!
I hope sharing my experience will help you to RELAX!
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
Don’t worry! You will be
fine.
If you are planning a trip to Hedo, then you must already be an
open-minded person with a good attitude, so just be yourself and
SMILE. Everything else
soon come.
THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT THING
Don’t pack like you’re never going home again.
I was so worried about my luggage getting lost (OMG….what WOULD I
do????).
Tom told me that he had heard stories about that very thing
and people who got by with just a towel all week.
I now believe this is possible.
The next time I come to Hedo II, my packing will consist of a
sarong, a few tank tops, sexy dresses for the evening (or costumes
for theme nights), 2 pairs of really great FMP’s, a pair of sandals,
make-up/toiletries and lots of sunscreen.
That’s it!
As it turns out, Hedo II has a fairly well stocked gift shop for
anything else that you may need.
And, as it turns out, they have a nurses’ station in case you
need to see a doctor (which I did – for tonsillitis) who can
prescribe meds if you really need them.
I was a little skeptical about the antibiotics I was given
and ended up seeing my doctor back in the States when I got home
(for more meds)…..but the Z-Pak the Jamaican doc gave me did get me
thru the week and for that, I was thankful
(and all for $150,
Mon).
THE PEOPLE
When I was considering Hedo II for a vacation, I read everything I
could about the place.
There are a few posts/websites, etc. that make it seem like a giant
orgy with swingers everywhere who may try to get you to do things
that you do not want to do. Not
true.
However, you’re not in the
The people you will meet will be the most genuine, accepting, fun
people you will ever know.
I didn’t see one super-model.
I saw people who were thin, heavy, big boobs, no boobs, big
bamboo, little bamboo, long hair, bald, scars, tattoos…..and I never
(in a whole week) ever heard someone say something negative about
someone else.
Outside the world of Hedo, you can judge the success (or lack of) in
a person by what they are wearing (nice suit/jewelry/watches/shoes,
etc) or what they are driving.
Having no clothes on is the great equalizer.
You have no idea what people do for a living….and no one
cares. I don’t think
anyone really ever asked me what I do and I don’t think I asked
anyone else. Eventually,
in talking to people, some volunteered this information but it
certainly wasn’t even a big part of the conversation.
Everyone is on vacation to get away from the “real world” and
work is not something most people want to talk about.
However, when I asked a girl if it hurt to get her clit pierced, she
gave me a blow by blow of the pros and cons of clit piercing.
And, she lifted her leg to show me what it looked like and
demonstrated the procedure! You would never be able to have this
conversation with a complete stranger at your local bar back home!
And, I didn’t even know her name!
Before I went to Hedo II, I was concerned about where to look when
meeting someone for the first time…..stare in their eyes….take a
little glance down….the answer is WEAR SUNGLASSES!!!
Everyone looks at everyone (they’re naked for goodness
sakes!). You will look
at other people…other people will look at you….when you’re
walking….when you’re stepping down the ladder of the pool…..when
you’re standing at the bar…..when you’re stepping down into the hot
tub (and it’s a mighty big first step, watch out for it!), when you
are applying sunscreen (although MUCH more fun to have someone else
do it for you!)…..when you bend over to get something…..Yes…..they
will be looking….and so will you….get over it…..it’s part of why
you’re choosing to vacation at Hedo II.
The really funny thing is that it won’t stop when you put clothes on
and go home! I’ve found
that I have a new skill since being at Hedo II….I can see right thru
peoples’ clothes! It’s
the oddest thing…..I look at someone in the grocery store and I can
imagine JUST what they look like naked!
I guess what I’m trying to say is that you will find – maybe for the
first time in your life – total acceptance in a judgment free zone.
And THAT, my friend, is a very cool thing.
WHAT WE DID
When we first got to Hedo II we went up to our rooms to put our bags
away. Man,
I was so nervous.
Here I was…my moment of truth…. it was almost time to get
naked!
We changed out of our traveling clothes and went to get Tom.
That’s when we met Flacco.
Flacco was Tom’s roommate. The
guy was a little strange.
If you are interested in this story (and it’s a good one!),
you’ll have to read Tom’s report.
I’m not gonna give it away.
Tony, Tom and I headed down to the prude grill to get some lunch (at
this point I had on a sarong and a tank top).
While at lunch I was looking around (OMG! There were NAKED
people!) and wondering if I could really
do this. Tom was trying
to break me in slowly and assured me that I would be fine.
Tom has some friends from past trips who were there so we decided to
venture down and see them on the nude beach.
Now here’s the thing with the nude beach: You can’t have any
clothes on! (Imagine THAT!).
If you do, a security guard will come up and tell you that
this is a nude beach and take it off or leave.
This is to prevent people from walking around who are “just
lookin”.
So, the time had come.
There we were….on the jetty talking to C and L and it was time for
me to drop the clothes.
I did. C promptly told
me that he liked my tattoo…..I got the up and down look from the
group and that was it.
Back to regularly scheduled programming.
For all the weeks I spent worrying about doing this, it was the most
anti-climactic moment of the trip…..Trust me when I say that were
many climactic moments but taking my clothes off just wasn’t one of
them!
The first night we arrived at HedoII was the Pinpals/BosomBuddies/Valspals
Naughty School Girl Night – what a blast!
Dinner was on the beach that night.
While hitting the buffet, we met BL and M.
We walked by them and he (BL) shouted out, “Hey can we sit
with you?” We ended up
hanging out with them for most of the week in the evenings and they
were a lot of fun. I
will never forget BL’s directorial abilities (haha) and how M is my
twin (haha). If you have
a keen eye, maybe you’ll see the rocks that we painted (with
fingernail polish) by the hot tub (complete with paying off a guard
to make sure we didn’t get caught).
I got my initiation the second day (at Tom’s insistence!).
Won’t get into the details but it involved rum cream, the
cool tub, and NBH’s. BA (many
know BA…he leads most virgin initiations...) seemed to enjoy
shouting “virgin, virgin”.
After the initiation, BA introduced me to Fred.
Fred’s good. He
lives in the cool tub…..make sure you meet him when you get there.
“This place is crazy!”
A typical day for us started around 10:30 or so with some breakfast
in the Main Dining Room.
Then maybe a little nap back in the room or in one of the F Huts
(Still getting over the night before!).
Around noon, we would head to the pool.
At some point, we would look at each other and say “Are we
ready to start drinking again??”.
“Sure”….was usually the answer and the day would begin.
The most stressful part of the afternoon was deciding “Do we
start with the frozen drinks with floaters or just go straight to
the spiced rum and Pepsi??”
When it got hot in the pool, we would move over to the cool tub and
when the sun started setting it was over to the hot tub.
We met lots of great people:
S and C from our area, S and J from
After the hot tub we would go back and change for dinner and dress
in appropriate theme clothes for the evening (pj’s, pimp and ho,
toga, black, red)…..more specifically, I would dress up for the
theme nights....the boys wore shorts and some sort of Hawaiian
shirt.
Dinner was followed by the piano bar (one wild night I was actually
ON the piano….stripping to Mustang Sally……thanks to Tom!).
I should say now, that stripping on a piano has been on “my
bucket list” for some time.
Not that I have any experience with this whatsoever and I may
not have been that great – in fact, Tom and Tony stood close by in
case I danced myself right off the damn thing! But once up there, I
liked it so much I stayed on for one more song while Tom sung
“Another Saturday Night” .
“This place is CRAZY!”
Then it’s off to the disco.
Some nights it was somewhat crowded and some nights there
weren’t more than a few people there.
But we had fun every night.
“How’s that pole, Tom…..a little greasy?”…. “Shake your
boobies/shake your boobies/yeah yeah!”
“NAKED WATER SLIDE”……. ‘nuff
said.
After that, back to the hot tub (OH MY – again!
“This place is CRAZY”).
I’ll just leave this part up to your imagination….don’t
forget to check out the hammocks.
At this point, I will mention cameras.
Don’t be a jerk and bring a camera to the nude area.
One night in the hot tub there was a Vinny there and he
snapped some pictures.
Within seconds, he had several large naked men ready to pummel him.
They took his camera and went thru his pictures one by one to
make sure he hadn’t snapped any that were inappropriate.
Late night (and even when the sun is up), it’s mostly an
“anything goes” kind of place but cameras/camera phones, etc. are
definitely on the side of jerkish behavior.
Just don’t do it.
Finally, after a fun, relaxing, satisfying day, we would make our
way back to bed…..that’s when the real fun began….
The sun comes up on a beautiful
FUNNY THINGS
There are several other resorts in the area who offer boat rides to
people staying at the resort.
These boats bring theirs guests to the water just in front of
the nude beach and they drive by very slowly.
The first time this happened, I told Tom and Tony that I felt like a
polar bear at the zoo…..lol
Well, the boats’ cruising by is somewhat of an event at Hedo.
People on the beach stand up and shake what they got, slap
their asses, hold up signs (one said “Don’t let your mother make
your vacation reservations next time!”) and generally put on a show
for the people on the boat.
It’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
The second funniest thing was when Tony, Tom and I went snorkeling.
There was a group of people from one of the resorts who were
also snorkeling in the general area.
Their “Leader” had a little whistle that he blew for them
when it was getting close to the time for them to leave and the
people snorkeling had little floaties to help them stay afloat……the
scene was probably one that you have all experienced.
An organized, respectful snorkeling
expedition for patrons of a resort.
We were the only three on our boat.
When we got out to where we were snorkeling, our only
directions were “You know what you’re doing, right?”
Followed by “We’ll put the ladder in when you’re ready to get
back on. You can hop off
da side, it’s plenty deep.
And don’t swim round da back of da boat, gasoline back dere.”
So, we three stand up on the side of the boat wearing nothing but
fins and masks when we hear shouting from the other snorkeling group
“Those people are buck ass naked!.
We cracked up and jumped in!
While the other groups’ leader blew his little whistle to signal
that it was time for their group to head back, our boat guys lit up
a joint and settled in for a little siesta.
We coulda stayed there all day and they wouldn’t have cared!
Sitting in my office a week later, I still find myself laughing
about this. I think our
snorkeling trip was WAY more fun than the other groups!
THE RESORT
I found the resort to be very clean and well maintained.
The rooms are not like those that you would find in a four
star hotel but honestly, we weren’t in our room for more than a few
hours each day…..and when we WERE in the room….the mirror above the
bed certainly added to the “how much we like the room” factor.
We had a towel crisis the first few days when the laundry went down
and towels were like gold but, for me….I coulda cared less.
They eventually got it up and running and everything was
fine. Towels soon
come….who the hell cares??? We were in
The food is okay. They
serve typical stuff like burgers/hotdogs/grilled cheese/jerk chicken
at the Grills. The main
dining room has a salad bar that is set up at lunch and dinner.
The menu is usually chicken, fish, and some sort of meat (I
finally got it, Tom) with rice/veggies/mashed potatoes, etc.
They have some restaurants that are available if you make a
reservation. We ate a
Munasan one night but never hit the others.
Oh, and :
THE WATER AND RAW VEGETABLES ARE FINE FOR YOU TO EAT AND
DRINK. This was a
burning question for me, as I have been to Mexico and suffered the
effects….the water in JA is fine….don’t worry, Mon.
I found the employees of the resort to be very helpful and friendly.
Geez, I miss
If you are interested, you can get ganja from almost anyone who
works at the resort. You
will be asked “You okay, Mon” or “Everyting okay”…..if you are not
interested a simple “I’m all good” will suffice.
So, if you are thinking about H2 for a vacation, get over it and
just do it. You won’t
regret one minute of it……you will have a lifetime of good stories
and you will feel good about yourself for “stepping out of the box”.
Life is short, my friend.
It’s time to play naked.
For me, it’s the best experience that I’ve ever had and I’m already
planning my next trip.
