We joined the "Fluffernutter" group to H2 for the first time, 4th trip to resort.  A group trip has its perks; resort sold out, revised theme nights, pool parties & a special sunset cruise.  The weather was perfect all week mid 80's scattered clouds.
 
Immigration was horrible, note to self do not fly in or our of Sangster on a Saturday, Crazy!  We flew Tim air to the resort, or should I say Gary actually flew.  He sat in the co-pilot seat & I told the pilot I bought Gary flying lessons & that he had 100's of hours on the simulator.  So the pilot let him fly the whole way to the resort, buzz the beach but thankfully took over for landing.  As he was thanking Gary (which was smiling ear to ear) I told him how excited Gary was its just like the hobby simulator he practices on & how he wants to start those lessons ASAP...Pilot was a little shocked.
 
Daily we got up round 10:00, I went to the gym while Gary went to breakfast. We met back in the room to get ready & go to the pool/beach for the day.  We drank, visited, played 'games' & made new friends.  Went to dinner nightly around 8:00 pm, enjoyed the nightly entertainment - than off to piano bar or pool party (disco).  We usually passed out nightly round 2:00. 
 
We walked the beach one day to buy the obligated tshirts, rum cream & cigars.  Its funny just 100 yard for H2 beach you are @ the beautiful Sandals resort where everyone is packed on the lovely beachside lounge chairs; reading books, on their laptops, napping or just plain looking bored and No jello shots.  I didn't see one laptop @ our beach.
 
We dressed nightly in the theme nights, which was probably 75% participated.  We ate @ Martinos one night waited 2 hours than got raw fish, thank God for the buffet.  We enjoyed the buffet food & the ice cream machine daily.
 
We paid a guy $30 for the totem pole caring (see pix), it turned out pretty cool!
 
Unfortunately I got real sick on day 4.  102 fever, body aches & cough the next day we went to nurses station cause I hadn't gotten any better.  They called a Dr to the resort which arrived around an hour later.  He checked me out for maybe 5 minutes & gave me 3 antibiotics for $200.00 cash.  Between the gift shop cost cold medicine & cough syrup - I will make sure to always pack this stuff in the future.  Foolish me only brought regular prescriptions, aspirin & tums...I lost 3 whole days too sick to participate and barely made it out of the room.  My cold lasted almost 3 weeks!
 
The resort & the group was fantastic.  We will definitely return to be wicked for a week!
