Steve & Jennah - June, 2003

Wow, what a trip! This was our second trip there (but I exclude our very first trip because it was before the improvements and lasted a paltry 3 days. We started to relax and to get into the groove and had to leave, so we don't really consider that trip as a "real" trip. I recommend that you don't even consider going for less than 5 days. From this point forward, knowing what we know now, that trip doesn't even count) and was perhaps the best trip yet. It's hard, almost impossible to decide. Last year's trip was the vacation of a lifetime, so for us it is hard to beleive that we could even come close to having as much fun this time.  Having sustained fun at that level is hard, perhaps impossible, to measure.  Both trip's clearly surpass any other vacation that we have ever had in our 17 years together. And that's saying alot, because we have had some amazing vacations together and many more with our children. These trips were on a whole different level altogether. We were very concerned that returning to the same place this year would be a disappointment, a big let down, because the previous year was so unbelievably fun. We usually try to avoid doing the exact same fun things twice, (same activity but different resort, or port visits etc...is fine) because we don't want to stain an otherwise nice memory. As it turns out, our fears were for not. Yes, the facility is pretty much the same, but the people there are so wonderful, friendly and different. The people that you meet there really make the difference, so you need not worry about the ol' "been there, done that" syndrome. Now for the particulars..........as much as can be recalled anyway........

We flew AJ, and although we were delayed for 2 hours (they informed us at the gate that they would be 30 minutes delayed, which is translated 2 hours Jamaica time.) our journey there was much better than last year's trek. Despite that, all in all, we enjoy taking AJ. The staff is always so friendly, the meal is good (excellent by airline standards) and their local fruit punch has turned into a tradition for us. That's when the vacation officially starts, the first sip of the Jamaican fruit punch.

We know and fully agree with the premise of what happens in Jamaica stays in Jamaica, so I'll try to be as discreet as possible, and if I leave out some details or names (or even change the names) that's the reason; either that or it's simply because of the effects of so much alcohol........but I assure you it's one of the two...........lol

Jesse & Deb, wow, you guys are Fun. (Note the capital "F"). The times in the hot tub were side splitting halarious. Without any doubt, you two got us started. So everything that we did after that first night is all your fault! All that I can say is that you should be ashamed of yourselves..........."That's DISGUSTING!!" We (read Jennah) really enjoyed the water jets,  thanks again for the demonstration; the friendly muff diving contest (I still think there should be some consideration given to 'quality points.' And in case you didn't notice, since I knew that couldn't beat the record for the longest time, I had shifted stratigies and decided instead to go for the record regarding the number of attempts), and how can we forget our search for the "perfect jet" in the hot tub? That was classic, and a bit erotic I might quickly add at the risk of sounding too disgusting. Debbie, the shower scene, take 1, was incredible, great idea. FYI, my only thought in there, I'll have you know, was 'how can I be so damn clean while thinking so damn dirty?' OK, maybe I entertained other thoughts.....lol. Jennah enjoyed the antics as much, (or even more if I am to believe her) than I did. Great idea! And Jesse, I think that all you need is a tad bit more hip action, and you're a ringer for an Elvis impersonator in Vegas. That was fun in Veronica's.

Those who saw me that night at the Men of Hedo contest would not believe that I am normally a shy, reserved person. I'd be wasting my breath. I had never entered any contests before (and may not ever again) but I did that one night and Jennah is still laughing two weeks after the event. We were suppose to go around the dining room dance floor in front of the female judges and dance suggestively from one judge to the next. Well, I was last, and when my turn arrived, I was so ready. (I really didn't need the shots from the EC while I was awaiting my turn to go, trust me) I recall that by the time I was on my 3rd or 4th judge, I had loosened up enough to place one of my legs over a judges shoulder, at some point another judge grabbed my buttocks and grinded my crotch into her face, and the next judge removed my shorts all together. I believe that I then stood back at that point and started making circular motions with Mr. Hap, things are a bit blurry. And I had forgotten, but Jennah reminded me that I did all of this with a ping-pong ball in my mouth!?! Go figure. The next that I remember is that the EC's found my shorts, insisted that I put them on (which I quickly did) and continue. Looking back, I'm shocked that I did that, can't say that I had ever even thought of doing something like that, and can guarantee that I won't do something like that in the future. But at the time, it just felt right. It's hard to explain, but the place just has a way of letting you let go in a way that no other place could. And even though it's somewhat embarassing now, Jennah had such a fantastic time watching me that I wouldn't change a thing. I think next year will be Jennah's turn to enter a contest..................lol

We were introduced to "The Rabbit," thanks for sharing Kelly & Kevin. That thing is the real deal. The times in the cold hot tub and pool were great.........Kelly, I really enjoyed the Caluya.....I think that if the guy responsible for casting for Charlies Angels were there, you ladies would easily replace the currnet Angels (and sell more tickets too). Very very nice. Also, that was a very interesting water gun (water noodle?) fight. And Becky, what I'd give just to bounce in front of you just once more (or vice versa  : ).........)you all were so much fun. If we should meet up next year, look out. We'll have to wear name tags because you won't recognize us........we felt so welcome around you. Jennah is still walking through the house saying "Woo-Woo." Kevin, doing the alphabets down the slide don't sound like much now, but looking back we're still laughing over that. Fun fun fun. Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Kelly in her white lingerie and wig.  We've finally figured it out, it was like a much hotter and sexier version of Britney Spears, standing right in front of us. And another thing, after that piano dance, I am wondering what your REAL job is.............should you just happen to have any videos of that, please autograph one and send it our way ASAP, so Jennah can be ready for next year........that was great!  We're so glad that we got to meet you both.

My wife is my best freind, my confidant, my children's mom (a great one at that) and I consider to be one of the neatest people that I have ever met. Physcially, I find her absolutely stunning. We went there very much in love. We have a great marriage, love each other's company, and try to go on a "date" at least once a week. As the trip progressed, I felt this powerful attractive wonderful feeling towards her that brought back old feelings that I had a hard time placing. I had felt this way before, but couldn't quite explain it to myself. (I discounted simply being aroused, because we had sex, great sex, very frequently throughout the trip, and this feeling persisted before, during, and even after the sex.) All I knew is that I really really liked the feeling. Everything that I mentioned above was a blast, but it was this feeling that I enjoyed more than everything else combined. I would awake early in the mornings, and just prop myself up next to her and watch her as she slept. I couldn't remove the smile from my face and couldn't take my eyes off of her. I like having things figured out, and it was a bit disturbing that I couldn't quite explain this feeling that I had inside. I let Jennah know, and fumbled for words to explain it. The butterflies, the lightheadedness, the overflowing attraction to her, the constant smile on my face when I'm beside her, at times the fact that I had absloutely no idea of what was going on around me, nor did I care, while I was chatting with her, this overall total obsession I had on her, for most of the trip. It was a very youthful, powerful consuming emotion that I was thoroughly enjoying. Finally, I figured it out (days after we got back) and then it put an even larger smile on my face. Put simply, it is the difference between being in love compared to falling in love. I recalled that was precisely the same exact feelings that I felt when we first met and were dating. What an unbelieveably nice feeling. Spending this special time with my "girlfriend" is truly priceless. Life is great to us, we don't have everything but want for absolutely nothing. As long as we're together, we're happy. And although we're deeply in love, this trip has even brought us closer. Had someone tried to tell me that that could happen, I would never believe it. Impossible. Nothing was missing in our relationship, we didn't go looking for anything, so this overwhelming sensation was suprising. Hopefully someone out there can understand what I'm saying, I'd like to think others have felt the same kind of thing while being there. Although I wish that I could keep the feeling, I knew that it was not possible with the stresses of everyday life associated with being a mom & dad, much less being in business. Hon, it was that very thought, that realization that I was in the process of losing my girlfriend and that so surreal in-love feeling  that brought the tears in my eye as we were driving home. I know that you understand, because I saw sadness in your eyes too. Enough with the mushy, I think I'm gonna throw up. Back to the fun stuff.

I don't want to set the record of the longest trip report ever, so in order to consolidate I'll be brief..............the nude snorkeling was great, thanks Mark & Jamie. Funny how fast the other boats from the other resorts cleared out. Dan & Kim, you guys are great, and don't forget that I get to slather Kim next time with lotion, Oliver & Jana, (let me pause to catch my breath) thank you so much for the pleasant memories, (ie: hot tub, shower scene take 2, wet t-shirt contest etc....) and I am still upset with myself for my German not being what it should be. We'd like to think that we did our best to strenghten US-European relations..........Beth, it appears that Dana has used the penis squirt gun before, he was just too darn good with it. We especially liked it when he missed the mouth just a little...........you just can't script this stuff. I really enjoyed being Peter Pan on PJ night, that was a hoot, and a special thanks to all of you who kept my pan from laying flat. Tracie & JB, even though we weren't there to see it, we sincerely hope that you enjoyed the "rafts" that we left behind. We even left a vinyl repair kit with it. Thanks again Kevin & Kelly for helping us with that. Lydia, I'm not sure which suprises me more, that they brought over a bowl of butterscotch at dinner, or that you climbed up on the table. I think that I speak for the entire table when I say "Now that's dessert!" Butterscotch will just never be the same. Wow. Dewey, thanks for sharing. Mark & Debra, thanks for the conversations. Especially you Debra, I've already noticed that I look at cars that pull up beside me differently. True story. John & Bree, we were glad that we got to meet finally. Our paths crossed some, but not nearly enough. Funny how the place is, the days seem to just fly by while the overall week seems like it's months long.And you're never hurried, or behind, or ahead or stressed. No schedules, timelines, or definate plans other than getting jerk chicken at 6pm. We met so many other fun and interesting folks, I'd just like to thank them with a large group thank you hug. The people we meet really make the place so memorable and fun.

And to a very special couple, Steve & Julie. You two added a dimension to this trip more than you can ever know. It's worth mentioning that you two were the only ones to live the entire shower scene trilogy with us. I really look forward to comparing notes...........personally, I think that scene 3 was the most climatic, very nice finish. Believe it or not, after everything, we still see you two with little halos over your heads. You two are such a neat couple. Who is John Galt anyway??

One final thing. There is a staff member who keeps the nude beach spotless. His name is Augustus, and he is a card. Anyway, we overheard him saying that he would really appreciate it if someone would bring him some gloves. Upon our next trip we sure will, but if someone reads this and is going there before then and wants to do a very nice thing, could you bring him some gloves? He's a good guy. Actually, I'd like to get everybody there something, they are all so nice and quick with a smile.

Still smiling in Florida,

Steve & Jennah
