Bob & Stef - 08/04

About every couple of years Bob and I decide to take a nice week long vacation without the kids to somewhere special. We have a beach house so we are there all the time but we are always with the kids or their friends or our parents so for this trip we wanted somewhere to go without kids. That being said, Bob left me to decide where to go and what kind of vacation we would have. We had been on a cruise to Alaska a couple years back and didn't want to cruise again. The idea of an all-inclusive trip sounded great. We had been to a travel agent night on Sandals and while the resort looked spectacular, we just didnt' feel it was for us.

We are not "swingers" or "in the lifestyle" but the more I read on the superclubs website about the sexual energy the more intruiged I became. Anyway, I can already tell this is going to be long so I will hurry....anyway, I called Superclubs and made our reservations and held my breath until I called Bubba and said "we are going to Hedo". I thought he would drop the phone. He was excited but didnt' know what to expect from me as far as if I would go naked, try experiementing, or whatever. I am overweight and the thought of people seeing me letting it all hang out was freaky but oh well, I survived. We set two ground rules before we left and other than that just decided to have a great time and let our hair down. The closer Saturday came the more freaked out I became. I didnt' think I could take my clothes off in public, I didnt' know if I could talk to naked strangers, and I didnt' know if I could be so openly sexual with my husband. Wow, what a difference a day makes. I will say that if you are not in a secure relationship wiht your spouse, then Hedo is not the place for you. Jealousy is not a good thing when there are naked people rubbing against your spouse....hehe.

Saturday came and we were on our way. We flew US Air direct from Charlotte and the flight was fine. The line from customs was a little long but we were on vacation and I wasn't going to let any little thing get me down. We went to the Super Clubs and were wisked away to our bus. Oh My Goodness!!!! I felt like I would die my first day and they say the road is better...oh well we get to the resort and my tension is rising. We check in and were given a great room 2155 on the garden view nude and so convenient to everything. I am getting ready to have back surgery so any excess stairs or walking isn't a pleasant experience. Our room was excellent and I loved the mirror.....I wish I had a way to explain a ceiling mirror to the kids but oh well we just have to go back. Anyway, we decide to roam around and I keep telling Bubba that we have to just stay on the prude side for a while until I get my nerve up so he is fine with that and we go for a walk. We got a drink and had a grilled ham and cheese and go check out the prude pool.....noone spoke, noone looked at us and we felt really alone and wierd so I told Bob we would check out the nude side.....well i just put my coverup on wiht nothing underneath and we wonder over there.....we got as far as where you can see that far platform and we saw 3 couples having sex on it and the sandals boat going by cheering them on and let me tel you I freaked out......My husband is wonderful and can immediately tell when I am about to come out of my skin so he says we will go unpack and just let it all sink in. We go to the room and take advantage of the mirror...woohoo and we unpack and he calms me down and we have fun wiht the mirror again.....by this time its time for this jerk chicken i have heard so much about and I am determinded to make the most of this trip, to not let anything freak me out and to just have fun...so off we go back to the nude pool area. We took the big mugs everyone told us to take and I had written our names on them and after oh about a minute of being in the pool wiht a dirty banana someone kept saying "it says Bob and Stef...wonder if they are the ones from the computer"...so I say yeah and boom instant frienship. They introduce us to two more couples and for the next 6 days the 8 of us are instant friends. I could not have asked for better friends and already miss them terribly.

I will just hit some of the highlights now since I am so longwinded already. We took the snorkel boat out a couple times and it was GREAT. We both love to snorkel so we had a great time. We took a cab ride from hell to the falls that was not set through the resort........DO NOT DO THAT!!!! Arrange everything through Hedo Desk.....we were lucky to make it back alive and were scared for 5 hours out of our day...not a good experience....then we find out he wasn't even a real cab driver.

We did the c/o catamaran with our friends and had such a great time and met some new friends who we became close too as well. We can't wait to see you guys in Florida if you are reading this:-). Bob did the rock climbing and the flying trapeze...he is such a kid....he had such a good time flying through the air. We also went to Margarettaville with 3 of our friends oh and let me say.....don't be afraid to be friends with the single men.....they aren't all creepy, right Steve???:-) Bob also learned to scuba dive and did the class and pool instruction one morning and the ocean dive the next morning....I would have worried myself silly if it weren't for my friends keeping me company at the nude pool. We went to a birthday party....Happy Birthday Eric and Tara, and watched a private magic show....Elmo you are the man. We did Toga night and I was eating dinner and looked down and my toga top had come off and there I was with my boobs on the table.....oh well....only at Hedo. We did the waterslide naked and what a rush....I felt like I was 7......it was so fun and so fast.

We made some great friends, had good times, and most importantly reconnected with eachother. Bob is a contractor and my time with him is limited so I felt like I was in heaven not having to share him with clients and phones and the chores of the day. We made love more times last week than in two months at home and fell in love again. We kept our two rules we had set and learned that people in the lifestyle are very respectful and we have made some wonderful friends. We already have the DIF sooo bad and I had to go to the ABC store to buy dirty banana ingredients and other stuff for my new drinks.....which brings me to something else.....BUY RUM CREME IN JAMAICA.....our ABC store doesn't have it.....I wanted to buy it at the airport and Bob said it would be better to buy it here and boy was he wrong......its "no problem mon" we can just go back next year.......thanks to everyone on this site who answered questions and Denny you are definitely handling our next trip. Your site has been a wonderful thing. We can't wait to go back and Howard, Pat, Michelle, Bruce, Tim, Misch, Marty, Vickie, Steve, and all the other ones I am forgetting to name, we can't wait to see you again.....we love ya!!!!
