This was our second trip to Hedo. We were part of the original (12 or so?) members of the 1998 Inaugural WWW Trip. Wow, has WWW come a long way! This trip was a lot different than the 1998 one because instead of having 12 pre-made friends, we had nearly 100!

We knew the ropes this year but that didn't mean we didn't prepare. In fact, we prepared ALL YEAR! As soon as last year's trip was over, we continued to check Denny's board every few days (and as the 1999 trip got closer, it seemed like we checked every couple of hours!) I knew from experience to pack more dresses for the evenings (definitely sexier) and had a blast shopping for them. I think the most important thing that you can do to prepare for a Hedo trip is to email others on the visitors list or jump right into Denny's chat room. You won't believe what a difference it will make to your vacation. You'll have all kinds of contacts when you arrive and will know the people ahead of time instead of spending most of the week mucking through that "getting to know you" stuff. The anticipation for the trip really is half the fun!

I thought the food was better than last year, but maybe that's because we ate in Pastafari's 3 times that week. Pastafari's does take a long time, however. Plan on at least 2 hours. Even though it wasn't the greatest, I loved the champagne in Pastafari's. The omelets for breakfast were wonderful. The Nude Grill was one of my favorite places to eat since there was no way I wanted to get dressed for lunch. We never made it up to dining room once for lunch. We would just grab a burger or ham and cheese and french fries at the grill…. So, so good!

No big deal whatsoever. This was only our second time being nude in public - last year at Hedo was our first. Just strip and jump right in. Some people will say that no one really notices what your body looks like, but that's kind of a "white lie," I think. Men definitely notice the women, and women sure as hell notice the men. It's just a fact of life. I have often told my friends back home (who wouldn't dare go to Hedo) that you will never feel sexier than you will at Hedo. Just make sure you are not the kind of person that minds sexual attention, because you WILL get it at Hedo. Men will stare and the bolder ones will make comments to you (complimentary, of course- LOL). Didn't bother me - in fact it was great, but it wasn't something that I was prepared for.

Oh good God, did we drink! I think I said every morning that I wasn't going to drink anything that day, but somehow by noon, bingo! …there was a drink in my hand. The first day, I asked the woman next to me at the bar what she was drinking and she said "coconut rum and pineapple juice" and that became my "drink of the week." I am so easily swayed! By the end of the week, I was saying that I was never going to drink again! I swear, I felt like I needed detox by the time we got on our plane. Bob was sure he'd be approached any minute by security and told he had drunk his quota for the week and was now cut off.

What's all the fuss about the rooms anyway? They are very clean and comfortable. The mirrors are sexy. So the showers are a little inconsistent. Big deal. You certainly don't go to Hedo because you expect a first-class hotel anyway.

Yep, there was plenty that week. And I thought it was great! But I am a little cranky about a few things regarding this subject. I can't understand how people can go to Hedo and not expect it. Hello? Read the trip reports. It's going to happen. This is my very favorite part of Hedo. It's like no other place in the world that we can go to and be open and affectionate to whatever degree we desire. It's human sexuality at its unrefined BEST… the most unhypocritical place I have ever been to. Men and women say and do things at Hedo that just wouldn't happen anywhere else. Let's face it, every one has these thoughts. Where else can you verbalize them or even act upon them? Where else can you go and see (or participate in) five couples engaged in oral sex on the side of the hot tub in the middle of the afternoon (until the sex police broke it up)? Where else can you walk on the beach at night and hear people coupling out on the raft or on the lounge chairs? For those of you who haven't been there, please don't think that it's one continuous orgy because it's not. It's just a place where spontaneity is accepted and no one (except the sex police) will judge you for anything.

This is a sore subject. Last year, the sex police were pretty much non-existent. This year, they were a bit ridiculous. One woman was performing oral sex on her partner in the hot tub in the early evening much to the delight of all the onlookers. Well, of course, the sex police stood behind them and scolded them to stop. All at once, the entire hot tub booed and hissed! Why isn't this OK? If you didn't want to see it, you didn't have to look. We are all consenting adults and this kind of kindergarten patrolling is annoying. One other night, a wonderful spontaneous event happened in the cool tub with about 4 women performing oral sex on their partners. Again, here comes the sex police from out of nowhere! Scolding us to "take it to the bedroom." Give me a break. By the way, it is OK (and even encouraged by the staff!) for men to lick chocolate off a woman's entire body in the wet t-shirt contest while lying on the floor in the dining room (a place where you cannot even be naked, mind you). And during the Beer Drinking Contest I also witnessed a staff member encouraging oral sex between the participants when the contestants were adequately drunk! It's as if Hedo just can't decide whether sex is or is not OK. I wish they would stop confusing us.

Planning for, rehearsing for, and finally performing in the talent show as one of the Village Sluts. Six of us WWW women (me, Chris, Shirley, Keri, Jessica, and Sharon) agreed to be a character from the Village People and sing and dance to Macho Man and YMCA in appropriate costumes… and stripping out of them at the end! This was all Jessica's wonderful idea and she deserves 100% credit for making sure it all came off without a hitch. We all claimed we were "too shy" to possibly perform in front of people, but you sure wouldn't have known it that night! Thanks Kenny and Toni for providing us with all those shots backstage. I couldn't have done it without you! God, we must've had our picture taken 100 times. Oh and how can I forget getting a sneak preview of Javier's (the transvestite from Cuba) cute little outfit that he/she hid under that big, black cape while waiting for his/her big moment on stage! Thanks for sharing, Javier! By the way, you ROCKED, girl!!!

Playing splashball in the pool… and somehow continuing the game in the hot tub. For those of you making your list of what to bring to Hedo, go to the pool section of Walmart and buy a splashball (squishy ball that soaks up water). You can't believe the fun you will have with it. Just throw it at any unsuspecting fool and watch the fun start!

The WWW Catamaran Cruise. Thanks and smooches Denny for organizing this. This was a WWW member only, nude cruise held at 4 pm one night that went up to the Pickled Parrot. The rum punch was definitely flowing that evening! Highlights of the cruise were the interesting pole dance performed by Anita, Sharon, and… Shirley, was that you?!!!! You definitely are a true "slut," aren't you? Sharon and Diane noticing that you can see right into the bathroom from the vent (this provided hours of entertainment). Me remembering that I brought along two cans of silly string. Boy, was that fun squirting unsuspecting people across the boat! And how clever people were decorating themselves with the leftover silly string. I don't think the boat crew was too pleased with it though. Sorry. Watching Stephanie jump from the cliff - better you than me, honey. Watching Hedo Jay slink away from the cliff after chickening out (you knew someone would bring this up, didn't you, Jay?) Oh, and who could forget mooning all those people while we sailed by that bar on the cliffs! Jeez, you'd have thought they never saw naked people before! People running for their cameras… bet they'll have some "wild tales" to tell the folks back home! Next year, I bet they'll be at Hedo too!

Me and Jessica dressed up (coincidentally) in our Ladies in Red dresses on the night of Gumbo's birthday. How many laps did we sit on, Jess? I lost count.

Sharon's "Dress in Black Night." Wow, how word travels. We should do this again next year. That was really cool.

Shirley "shading" Lance from the sun with her huge boobs! Much better than sunscreen, huh, Lance?

Convincing Hedo Jay that he could tell anyone it was his birthday and they'd BELIEVE it!!! Which they did! And the presents he got! I gotta remember this one next year. I think my birthday will all of sudden be in July from now on. By the end of the week when most of the WWW people left, he got to have his birthday AGAIN (his real one this time!)

Coercing Stephanie to "be a 90s woman!" and make her hubby "happy" on the side of the hot tub in the afternoon in front of everyone - we all promised we'd help out and be right there along with her, which we were. I tried to get a "wave" going like at a baseball game and to get the whole hot tub to join in but only 5 couples participated. We'll have to try for total hot tub participation again next year, guys!

Retreating to Denny's room for WWW tattoos one afternoon during a rain storm after drinking way too much and finding out there was PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE of just how drunk I was!!! (Hi Boomer, Becky, Anita, and Sharon! And remember I'M SHY!) I'm just happy I didn't fall out the window!

PJ Night: Where else could I indulge my fantasies and be a dominatrix for a night? I just loved dragging my husband around by his leash! We won first prize in the "Bondage" category. Something to add to my resume?

Watching "Felix the Grab" float around the nude pool on his "saddle float." This had to be the funniest thing I saw all week. You had to know just who Felix was to appreciate this and to understand why he was nicknamed "The Grab." Just let your imagination run wild. Was their any woman he didn't grab? If so, raise your hand… hmmm, I don't see any hands.

"Stephen King" holding court every day at the nude pool bar with his drink and cigarettes. The climax was witnessing him in the Beer Drinking Contest. What the hell did he say anyway? Were those WORDS?

Sex on the big white float in the middle of the afternoon during a rainstorm. Wow. It just doesn't get much better….until of course SOMEONE took a picture! I saw that flash! Please don't let me end up on the internet. How would I explain this to the kids?

Sex on the beach chairs at 3 AM while the Jamaican Glow Worm Team marched by in their glowing body jewelry! Wow, that was cool too.

Realizing we were better off working the "3 to 11" shift at Hedo. Most of our fun was had between those times when we peaked and then really needed sleep. We handed over the baton to the "11 to 7" shift when we were done.

Having the whole hot tub rocking to our dance party CD (thanks to Captain America's boom box). Have you ever seen people dance in a hot tub before? Fun, fun, fun.

Starting a conga line in the nude pool during the afternoon when "Hot, Hot, Hot" came on over the loudspeakers.

Enjoying a spontaneous slow dance with Baron in the nude pool. Love ya, big guy (sorry about those splashballs!).

If you are just thinking about going to Hedo, don't give it much thought - just jump right in and make the reservations. You can "think" yourself to death over this and waste so much time. The first time we went, I cancelled the trip twice. I was so afraid! I had so many fears (I was too fat, too old, too shy, I've had 3 children, etc.)

Don't worry about the nudity, the sex, your body image, or "whatever other hang-up you might have." I think that everyone should go to Hedo at least once. It will change your life, I guarantee it. You can NEVER go back to your original way of thinking after a trip to Hedo. The experience seeps into every cell of your body. All these trip reports don't even do it justice! You can't possibly even explain it to someone - they just have to experience it. So if you are trying to decide to go right, take my advice and trust me. Just do it! And if you end up hating it (which I can't imagine), you can blame me!

And last but not least, thank you to all our WWW friends. You are just the best! You are like extended family to us! We love you all!

Special thanks to Denny and Diane (you are the best and there's no disputing it!)

Jim and Shirley (our very dear friends! We'll be friends forever! Shirley was having way too much fun this year!)

Lance and Jessica (you guys are the greatest! Wow, LOTS of memories made you both! Damn, we look good in red, don't we, Jess?)

Chris and "Hedo Cock" (Dick) (Loved your company this year! What a fun couple! You didn't mind the "cock" thing, did you, Dick?)

Joe and Keri (the most open, relaxed, fun couple by far - looking forward to spending a lot more time with you guys)

Sharon and Anita (you keep us entertained, girls! Wow, Sharon, it's scary to think there's someone else like you!)

Mike and Becky (my fellow porno star and her wonderful husband, can't wait to spend lots more time with you next year)

John and Ellen (great to get to know you on the chat room - I told you you'd have fun!)

Shelli and Chris (wow, we should've taken a honeymoon like that!)

Baron and Theresa (loved the dance. You rule, Baron)

Greg and Kathy (never did get to see the big encore from 1998, did I miss it? Loved the dresses, Kath)

Gumbo and Gumbette (wow, you were so much more normal than we expected!),

Jeff and Kim - Sorry we stole the Bondage Award from you guys. A rematch next year?

Boomer and Stephanie (Steph, you came through that day at the hot tub. I gotta hand it to you. You both are classic, what fun!)

Rodan and Beth (Ro, you owe me a backrub; Beth, you have your hands full with him, huh?)

Richard and Rebecca (Hope Rebecca got that birthday present, Richard!)

Hedo Jay (It's your birthday!!!! How many will you have next year?)

Captain America (Dan) and Jennifer (where was the boom box when we needed it?! We should've sabatoged it!)

Dave and Nina - (I had to laugh at everyone "inspecting" your breasts in Denny's room when getting tattoos! I hope we get to spend more time with you next year.)

Roger and Judi (Thanks for the help in the splashball game, Roger! I needed it!)

Joe and Sherry (I loved watching your inexperienced WWW expressions on the catamaran cruise! That really loosened you up, huh?)
Kenny and Toni (Thanks for the shots backstage and Ken, you were hilarious acting like the broadway producer!!!)

Travis and Lisa (You should start your own religion! Wow, you are exactly what it's all about. What a great couple.)

Love you all!!! Can't wait til next year!!!!
