Departure from home day. Drove most of the day in snow to Shelly's parent's house. The
kids love staying at Grandma's. We're staying at the Holiday Inn near the airport in
Boston.

TO HEDO!!!!! It's our 2nd trip. It's a good thing Parker set the alarm clock
in the room, the wake-up call never came. But lordy, lordy, 4am is mighty early. Glad we
got to the airport early, by the time we were done checking in, there was a huge wait.
Both flights were fine, although we had to wait for our gate at Sangster to open up, so
close, yet so far! Got a miracle at Immigrations, they opened a new line and we were third
in line. Hopped on the shuttle (love the new airport check-in). Met Mark and Theresa from
Denny's page. The ride was fine, with the requisite liquor purchases. Arrived, got to the
room and then immediately went to the nude hot tub. Some of the lifestyles group is still
hanging out. Went to the nude hot tub again around 11pm. Thought it would be wilder with a
bunch of the lifestylers still around. Pretty tame at first, then a couple of men sat up
on the side and started to get blow jobs, then a couple of more guys sat next to them and
it was share time. All of the "sharks" (that swim on the land) were staring.

Actually got up and worked out. 30 minutes on a lifestep. There are 3 Stairmasters, a
treadmill, free weights and a few machines. No music or TV to occupy the mind. Went to the
nude pool, very sunny. There was a guy whose birthday it was, so he was collecting kisses
from 56 (his age) sets of titties. Theresa and I obliged (I was #39, she #50). Took the
tour of Grand Lido, it's very nice, but a completely different atmosphere. The rooms are
nicer, bigger, and have TV's and sitting areas. Went to the nude hot tub around 4:30, it
was packed, probably 50-60 people. The "cool tub" was also packed. Went to the
"Welcome Party". People were getting body painted. Once one of them found out we
were staying on the nude side he insisted that I remove my shirt, then he painted my
chest. Met a woman from Canada who said this was her 1st trip, and wasn't
prepared for so much wildness. Show time was an Elvis impersonator. He was quite good,
sounded a lot like him. Hit the hot tub around 10:30pm-it was packed again. Much more
mild-but lots of sharks. Talked to couples from San Francisco, Virginia, Long Island,
Illinois and Germany.

Worked out again. So proud of myself. I'll admit it wasn't as tough a workout as home,
but I'm moving. Hung out at the nude pool with Mark and Theresa. Very windy, so it seemed
cooler. Had lunch with Randy and Linda, from Denny's page. There was a wet T-shirt contest
for "Lunchtime Spin". About 8 women entered, but it was pretty much no contest.
Before voting was tabulated Devon (one of the entertainment coordinators) had to have the
ladies participate in lewd acts, with men they picked from the audience. One was a
simulated blowjob, using a hot dog. One had to demonstrate her favorite sexual position;
the eventual winner demonstrated her favorite 3 sexual positions. Lounged in room for some
of the afternoon (we're both really fair, gotta stay out of the sun). Went to the nude hot
tub and met up with Dave and Donna from Denny's page (they had spotted Mark and Theresa).
Hot tub was crammed with people, mostly couples, and some sharks. A few couples were
either riding or blowing. Even saw 2 couples enjoying each other. Ate dinner with Mark,
Theresa, Dave and Donna. It was BBQ night. The chicken and cheesecake were really good.
The show was reggae. The coordinators were introduced. Tavis and Michelle are still here
from last year. Then it was time to "learn to reggae", we were copying the
coordinators, Robyn, Terry, Tavis and Devon, they can move! Parker and I went down, some
white boys just ain't got no rhythm. Went to the hot tub, pretty empty at first, then it
got pretty crowded. A couple next to us started to fuck and a guy with a pierced scrotum
joined in. Parker and I kept getting kicked. The couple got up gave the single guy their
room number and left, he left shortly after that. The tub died down for awhile, then more
joined. Then a big black guy came in and joined a couple, and then another guy joined in.
The woman seemed to be having a really good time. We called it quits around 2:30am.

Didn't work out, got up around 8:30am. Dave and Donna were already in the dining room.
Then Mark and Theresa showed up. We were going to go on the nude catamaran cruise (an off
property, additional $$ event), but much too windy. No one's on the beach because of the
wind. Met Peter and Barb from the page. They had e-mailed us to look for a hat, I spotted
it as they walked by and I was pointing going "the hat, the hat, the hat". Barb
looked at me like "Huh?". Then we introduced ourselves. Also met Roger and Nancy
and Russ and Diane. We've run into most everyone from the list and all are nice. At lunch
we met Dan and Deanna, ironically they were seated at the table next to us (Mark, Theresa,
Dave, Donna, Parker and I). Dan recognized Parker and introduced himself. It started to
rain like a monsoon, so we all stayed and played Bingo! How exotic and exciting. Parker
won a Superclubs hat. Parts of the dining room were flooded. Went to the nude hot tub,
this year late afternoon is a very popular time, lots of people doing a variety of
activities. More mellow than late at night. This evening we had a reggae trio. "Joy
To The World "(Jeremiah was a bullfrog") will never be the same. Had dinner with
Mark, Theresa, Dave, Donna, Dan and Deanna. It's a good group, everyone is very friendly
and willing to socialize, yet everyone appreciates the fact that each couple wants some
time alone. After dinner was "Clash of the Titans", a battle of the sexes.
Parker, Theresa and I joined in. It was basically a lewd scavenger hunt. We had to find a
variety of items, from a ping pong ball to a real blonde; and prove it! A British TV crew
(Sky TV) was filming the resort. The guys won. Then it was time for the pajama party. Some
of the outfits were really nice. Most of the guys were in either boxers or g-strings. The
women were in a variety of outfits, mostly lingerie. The disco was packed and very hot. We
were all sweating heavily. Then it was hot tub time again (hey, we love it). It wasn't too
busy at first, then slowly got busy. We all filled up a "pod". We were having a
really nice time, chatting and joking. Then the tub started to get a little more heated.
At first a group of swingers showed up. One woman was blowing 3 guys, and a fourth was
fucking her from behind. They were standing by the side of the pool, attracting a lot of
attention, particularly from the sharks. By then our "pod" had been invaded by 2
other couples who were kind of loud. Then a couple who was getting married came over.
Called it a night around 3:30am.
Wednesday, Feb 4, 1998
Woke up around 7am, NO WAY!! Went back to sleep. Phone rang around 7:45am, Mom calling
to say the kids are doing fine, they're 3 and 5. Back to sleep. Look at clock at 9:13am!!
ACK! Need breakfast, it ends at 10am. Quick shower and to the dining room. Mark, Theresa,
Dan and Deanna had just gotten there also, then Donna and Dave got there right after us.
All but Dan and Deanna had a late night in the hot tub, so our butts were draggin'.
COFFEE!!!!! The usual Island picnic was canceled due to huge waves. That is always a fun
event, we were going to go on it. Oh well, 3 hours of "down time". Lounged
around all afternoon. Returnee party at 6:30pm in the disco. Barb and Peter won the free
trip for most timers; this was their 17th trip. The after dinner show was a
cabaret show. They were excellent. Some wild dancing. Hot tub was packed.
Thursday, Feb 5, 1998
Our last day. Boo hoo. Turned in our "Hedo Dollars" that we had won for the
"Clash of the Titans" for rum, hat and one-time use camera. Nude pool is packed.
The ocean is still too rough, no watersports. Went to lunch in a towel! Always new
adventures at Hedo. Parker and Donna joined in on the lunchtime spin. Back to the pool.
The sun felt really hot, so we all hung out in the pool. Met a Jamaican who now lives in
Australia. He used to be a coordinator at Grand Lido. He was very nice and very funny.
Told him about Denny's page. Time for toga night. No sheet, no eat. Gotta be naked under
the sheet. Almost all are toga'd. We all get our picture taken. Dinner is good: steaks and
linguine Alfredo. There are several toga contests, sexiest, worst tied, etc. But first we
have a conga line around the dining room. Then we have to flip off and make noise at the
surrounding resorts, 'cause after all they go to bed by 9:30! And at Hedo, the party's
just starting up. The showcase was staff talent. Several of them did a dance number.
Dionne and Marc put on a skit, Terry sang and Robyn lip-synched and danced. Everyone was
very good. All of us ladies had to have our picture taken with Marc; he is so sweet and
cute. We have decided to stay up all night, as we have to catch the 4am shuttle bus,
TimAir doesn't run until 6:45am, our flight is 8am. So off to the hot tub. There are
already lots of people. We're last to arrive; we had to finish packing. One of the weeks
funniest moments (and there have been many) comes when a woman who's had someone's dick in
her mouth (her husband and others), finally finishes off her husband, the entire hot tub
erupts into applause. After a wonderful last night in the hot tub, it is time to say good
bye to the group and promise to stay in touch. E-mail is a glorious thing.
Overall, the resort is a lot of fun. The rooms and food are not spectacular. The rooms
are sort of run of the mill, but absolutely immaculate, not a speck of dirt or dust
anywhere. The food can be erratic, mostly okay. The staff is very friendly and
accommodating. The entertainment coordinators are some of the friendliest and amusing
people I've ever met. If you're looking for luxury and pampering, this is not the place.
If you're looking for a fun, party atmosphere, this is it. I've seen it described as a
non-stop cocktail party, that is an appropriate description. The guests are usually
friendly, and though we've been approached, a simple "No, thank you" suffices.
Knowing that the other resorts refer to it as "The Zoo" kind of sums it up.
Many thanks to Shelly
for this report. - Denny
