Rob - September, 2011 Jamaican Water Slide Team (JWST)
JAMAICAN WATERSLIDE TEAM
12th Annual
Meeting
10 to 17 September 2011
Hedonism II, Negril,
Jamaica
It is
always exciting flying into Montego Bay seeing the azure Caribbean
waters parallel to the runway. In
and out of the airport in a flash and a quick 75 minute trip to the west
coast brings us to beautiful Seven Mile Beach in Negril where our
Caribbean home awaits. We arrive at the resort to a refreshing drink
delivered with a greeting by the Jamaican Waterslide Team (JWST) Welcome
Committee who also distributed each member’s ‘mystery packets’ with
contents including personal JWST backpacks! (presumably
to accommodate the week’s
personal persuasions), lanyards, personalized name badges and door
cards, and lots of other “goodies”. But enough about the lobby!
The anticipation of a trip with the JWST
becomes reality minutes after losing your clothes and running barefoot
into the inviting Caribbean waters to euphoric screams of ‘We’re here!
We’re here!’
Yes, we’ve arrived at the 12th
Annual JWST meeting at Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica.
Suddenly, no one cares about
anything anymore, throwing caution to the wind, forgetting the recession
and all that stuff because from the get go, a concerted effort is made
to reenact our fantasies as quickly as legally permitted. Going naked
for a week, only wearing lanyards and name tags, translates into the
thought that ‘no one is concerned with who does what for a living!’
Nakedness is such an equalizer, it’s all about partying!
The group came together naturally as the
result of the weekly JWST chat room where (subject
to confirming your booking) “newbies” make instant friends. The
members came from all walks of life, all ages and from all over the map.
The members-only web site assists
first timers in identifying what people look like before actually
meeting them with a special Biography page including photos.
(Not sure if everyone
submitted up-to-date photos, but that’s another story). It also
includes lots of information about the trip and a message board for
communicating with the entire group.
Since everyone’s idea of a good time
differs, the JWST group seems to fit the bill nicely and everyone
enjoyed a good time doing their own thing, whether it be lazing in the
nude pool all day, drink-in-hand, engrossed in conversation, or relaxing
on a floatie in the ocean while others play volleyball - or play with
something else somewhere else! The goal? Just have a great time!
One particular afternoon, laughter
dominated the proximity of the nude pool as someone drew attention to
the fact that a ‘certain’ popular member of the resort staff somehow
involuntarily and mysteriously ‘slipped’ into the nude pool fully
clothed!
The laughter could be heard as far
as Cuba! Highjinks me-thinks?
Such ‘accidents’ are not unknown
with this group.
The week began with a fun Welcome party
with a theme of “Naughty T-Shirts” and a fantastic spread of finger
foods provided by the resort culinary staff. This year Nancy even put
together a large photo collage of the group pictures from each of our
previous trips which was presented at the party.
It was fun to look back and remember
the hundreds of people who have traveled with this great group since
it’s inception at Hedo III.
Throughout the week the Entertainment staff
worked their rear ends off for us, keeping us laughing and entertained.
They seem to do all the shows now, and it is noticeable that fewer
outside acts are coming to the resort. However, the JWST provides its
own brand of entertainment - because we can! There’s our own “Sexy
Little Dress in Jamaican Colors” dinner, the ‘Daily Massage Team’
quietly engrossed inside the misting pool and the ‘Grand March’ through
the resort wearing our ‘Mesh and Glow outfits’.
Cee, our waterslide team captain,
kept pace with our daily ‘Nude Waterslide Runs’ in an effort to maintain
our JWST world record – which according to him still stands!
Each run ended with a creative
‘splash” or ‘cannonball’ with accompanying screams - earning a solid
vote on style by our team of judges and cheerleaders!
No prizes were awarded
however………just bragging rights.
The group members held a private and unique
“Erotic Gift Auction”
-
and let me tell you…… I HAVE NEVER!!
Did we mention the ‘Underwater
Basket Weaving’ contest during the nude Catamaran cruise?
Well, it also was a wet experience
too.
Actually, the nun seen on seven mile
beach was the JWST cross country dancing competition leader: Bill! This
crazy group is decidedly comfortable with each other, as many of the
group have known each other for years.
However, other resort guests quickly found
they were not treated like lepers, and were naturally absorbed into the
shenanigans with very little effort during the resort events. The JWST
is a very outgoing group that could never be accused as being
“standoffish or clannish”.
The JWST are a fun group simply
having as much relentless naughty fun as anyone can handle without being
indicted!
The JWST members’ penchant for costume
creativity is remarkable. Roger & Polly deserve a special mention since
they go WAY overboard every year. They had horses - or camels
(curious dangly-legged long
nosed beasts they swear will be returning in 2012!) They brought
the roof down with laughter and applause! They easily won that
competition……..whatever it was! We should mention that as with all
incidents involving the aforesaid group, no animals were harmed in the
making of the video!
But it doesn’t stop there: JWST
members cleaned house taking FIRST PRIZES for just about every resort
event including, PJ Night,
Rock Star Night,
Toga Night,
Fetish Night and Futuristic Night!
All winners received a liter of
Appleton’s Rum for their efforts.
Hence, the resort was left a tad
short of Appleton’s when the incoming group arrived a week later! And,
one of our couples even won free nights during the Repeater Party!
The resort was fairly empty during the week
we were there- but that worked to our advantage. Checking in was a
breeze;
the catering staff were on the ball,
and the food was up to par; waiting time for drinks was negligible -
never out of liquor; the water sports equipment easily obtained; towels
in abundance, and plenty to eat at the nude pool grill all day with no
waiting. Guess why the JWST meets the week it does?
“No problem” was never a problem…and
because of low occupancy, we pretty much had the resort to ourselves.
What’s there to complain about when
at any given time of the week all of us had at least six sun loungers
each!
Making reservations for a group feeding at
the specialty restaurants was never a problem; the food quality and
service was as perfect as anyone could wish for. Herr Joseph, the
executive chef (known from his
days at H3) is clearly in the driver’s seat and on the ball with
his unique personal touch. We appreciated the above- and- beyond efforts
of his staff in accommodating our group.
He set up Gala Night in the main
dining room as if it were a banquet for royalty, readying generous
servings of lobster - and seconds if you had room left. Overall, the
food quality was commendable in terms of variety, selection and
presentation. Martino’s excellent atmosphere invites guests to feast on
Rib of Lamb & Beef Tenderloin etc. including all the usual fancy gourmet
treats available.
We are regularly reminded by Hedo-regulars
that “the resort itself isn’t
flashy” and it isn’t, but isn’t going to Hedo more a state of
mind? The JWST gang went to party for a week –and we did, and we’ll
party again in 2012 in the style to which we’ve become accustomed. Yet
another successful JWST week was entered into the books, surely as the ‘funnest’
week to date! There were many good suntanned bodies which is a testament
to the weather, but the week passed much too quickly and we eventually
were all on the bus home, waving goodbye (in our own unique way) to
“Adult Summer Camp”.
There is always September 8-15, 2012 to
look forward to.
It can’t come soon enough!

next year.
