June 14 18 Trip Report
Rookie Trip for
Don & Brenda Wilson
Lake Fork, Texas
It all started on April 23rd so lets start at the beginning.
Don and I own a business and spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week together. We share an office, and each have our own desk. He turned to me that Friday afternoon and said, Oh, by the way, I booked us on a vacation. I turned to him and said, oh yea? where? Jamaica he said with a grin. After I picked myself up off the floor, I said, Ok, tell me about it.
He began by telling me that were going to a resort called Hedonism II, then found their website for me to read about it. I read every page, every word, and viewed every picture that was there and I said sorry honey, I aint going there
He then took me to the DennyP website and told me to read the message boards to learn more about it. I must love him a lot, because I spent countless hours over the next month reading everything that was said. So, I said ok, honey, but I need you to postpone this trip for about a year. I need to do a few things first. Like work on my tan, get a tummy tuck, cosmetic surgery for the nasty surgical scars, breast augmentation, have a few more things pierced and/or reconstructed, and buy really knock out clothes. But Don always knows the right thing to say Youre perfect just the way you are. We discussed it at some length, and he convinced me that he would never make me do something I was uncomfortable with. He bought me The Naked Truthso, after we set the ground rules for OUR vacation I got excited no, ecstatic no, totally beside myself.
Don and I made a trip to the big city to apply for my very first passport.
I emailed some of the people on the DennyP site that were going to be there when we were thought Id get the intro out of the way Everyone was great to make me feel comfortable about the whole experience, and some of us exchanged pictures. May 15th I started shopping for slut clothes since Ive never owned anything like that. After a couple trips to the slut clothes stores, I finally found something Id be caught in public wearing. Mostly I bought fabrics that became sarongs and wraps. We bought shoes, jewelry, nipple huggers, and sun tan lotions, make up, nail polish, first aid supplies, bug stuff, books to read on the beach, extra sun glasses, umbrellas, toys, large insulated mugs and everything else we thought we might have a remote chance of needing while at HEDO.
June 1st I started packing limiting myself to what we had to pack in (two small suitcases, and one carryon). June 2nd, I turned in my larger suitcase request to Don and was denied. So, I packed, sorted, repacked, sorted some more, repacked again, and again, and again right up until the morning to leave. Whew, I managed to get it all in the bags I dont know how, but I did.
Monday, June 14th: Up at 5:30 to use my hot curlers for the last time. Last minute instructions to employees and out the door at 7:30. Delivered the dogs to my sons house and off to DFW Airport. Arrived at the airport at 10:30 3 hours to wait for plane had a drink at the airport bar, bought a magazine for me to read cause I packed all my books Don managed to snag his before I zipped it up. Arrived in Miami on time, then arrived at MBJ on time pretty much uneventful.
No one offered to sell us a Red Stripe at the airport, so we boarded the bus with several other couples. One couple, Mary and Dwayne, who was going to Hedo II and the rest were going somewhere else. Away we went, at 8pm down a relatively good road, but fearing for our lives. Im not real sure what 80 kph converts to in mph, but Im almost sure the driver was speeding. He swerved to miss the vehicles that stopped in the middle of the road for one reason or another, and the pedestrians walking down the middle of the road. He pulled to the side, just a bit, to let someone off who was just catching a ride home from the airport. Another traveler caught a ride and the driver blocked two roads while finding his luggage and leaving him on the side of the road. We arrived at HII safely, but Mary, Dwayne, Don and I were very grateful to be there. Checked in and Don grabbed 2 Red Stripes at the bar on the way to dropped our bags in the room, then made it to the dining area just in time to get a bite to eat before they cleared everything away at 10pm. Back to the room, changed into something comfortable, and Don couldnt wait to get to the Nude Hot Tub. Now, bear in mind that I have never (since I was 3 years old) been naked in front of a group of people. I still wasnt sure I could do it but since I promised Id try it, and it was really dark that night, and I figured I best find out right off the bat if I could off we went. There were about 6 other couples in the hot tub when we got there, and they never looked up to see us they were kind of busy. I think Don had his clothes off before we got there so I was the only one covered. I removed the sarong and got underwater as quickly as possible still nobody look up. So far so good I did not feel uncomfortable but it was dark. Went back to our room about 2am to finish what we started at the hot tub, and try to get some sleep.
Tuesday, June 15th: Don signed us up for the Catamaran Snorkeling Cruse leaving at 10:30 so we ate some breakfast, then changed into our brand spankin new swim suits. Signed the release papers before boarding the catamaran, and about the time I found a place for Don and I to sit on the boat, everyone was already naked, including Don. Sheesh Boy, did I ever feel uncomfortable with clothes on. So, I joined them. And that was the last time our brand spankin new swimsuits were worn. It was the first time either of us had ever been snorkeling. It was soooo incredible. Don took a full roll of pictures in the first 15 minutes. We have tropical fish tanks at home, and my son has coral tanks, so we were fascinated. After the snorkeling expedition, and while being entertained by Rasta Ralphie and drinking Rum Punches, we went to the caves where you can swim to shore, climb up the side of the cliff, and jump off. Don and I stayed on the boat. I may have had too much fun already, or maybe it was the rum punches but my stomach was upset. I recommend the catamaran trip on Tuesday mornings to everyone.
Upon arrival back at HII, we had agreed to buy Rasta Ralphies t-shirt and CD. So, Don walked back up to the room to get some money, didnt bring enough, so he walked back to the room to get some more. By the time he made it back, I had found the wood carvings being displayed by their artists. We found a few pieces that we could not live without, so back to the room he went to get some more money. The vendor packaged them up so I could check them on the plane. Then off to the pool to cool off. We left the pool for our room to rest a while so wed be in rare form for the pajama party. Laid down about 4:30 went fast asleep woke up about 9:30, just in time to eat once again just before they took all the food away. But we were good to go for the party that night of course we didnt quite know what that meant just yet. We enjoyed the stage show with Mary and Dwayne, and another couple we met on the catamaran, Don and Melissa. After the show, Don and I were off to the hot tub again, and then back to our room to finish what we started (again).
Wednesday, June 16th: We were ready for some beach time, reading, and shade. So, after breakfast, we made our way to the nude beach with our books, towels, our large insulated mugs, and plenty SPF30. Had our mugs filled, found our spots under a shade tree, applied the sun screen, settled in with our books. We lit a cigarette; Augustus fussed at us and got us a cup with sand to use as an ashtray. Word of warning to newbies, Augustus is just kidding he just says that he doesnt want you on his beach. Hes so funny. Wasnt too long that another guest came up to us and introduced himself. When he found out we were from Texas, he insisted on introducing us to a whole group of Texans in the pool. We gathered up our stuff and moved to the pool. Yep, sure nuff there were lots of people there from Texas. Guess we all went to Jamaica to get away from the heat hummmm. Met Dwayne and Susan there who we recognized from the picture exchange before we left. Lost all track of time in the pool that day before we knew it, it was 5:00 and we had reservations for 7:00 at Pastafaris. We got cleaned up, and dressed up, and made it there with plenty time to view the art to be auctioned that night. Dinner was wonderful, service was wonderful felt a bit uncomfortable about walking out without paying and leaving a tip but at the same time it felt a little naughty too. Back to the room, dress clothes came off, and got comfortable for the festivities. Met up with Dwayne & Mary, Dwayne and Susan, Don & Melissa, and Del and Marta (from the catamaran cruise) later that night at the mardi gras party. That was a load of fun we all laughed and carried on like we had been friends forever. Was a night to remember. After the show we resumed the party at the piano bar and met Winston we had seen him dance but he can sing too. Then some of us were off to the hot tub (too hot) so we moved over to the cold end. Don & I didnt have a nap that day, so about midnight we couldnt hold our eyes open any longer. We said our goodnights, and I dont remember my head hitting the pillow.
Thursday, June 17th: At breakfast I decided I needed a break from the heat and sun for just a bit. So Don headed to the beach with his book and I was going to hang out around the main building for a while even thought Id have my hair braided. I met up with Del & Marta, and Don & Melissa in the main dinning area who had just booked reservations for the Japanese Restaurant that night. Didnt take much for them to talk me into joining them, so I booked ours and Dwayne and Marys too. (Figured Id tell Dwayne & Mary I did that later). Then Don & Melissa announced that they were going to take a bus trip to Negril for souvenirs, and I decided to join them too but not till 1:30. Had time to get my hair braided (ouch), and get Don off the beach just in time to get on the bus going to town. Robert the bartender was in town on his day off and became our tour guide. Bought enough souvenirs for everyone we know, and then some. Had more fun with Melissa trying on diva clothes at the upstairs adult only store. I kind of thought that black thing was cute, even though it took half an hour to get it off. Thank you Robert for keeping Jimmy (the driver) from leaving us Melissa was hurrying as fast as she could.
Back to the resort and our room to pack the goods for the trip home then back to the pool to cool off before the Toga Party. I kept looking at those sheets rolled up on the bed, thinking that maybe I shouldnt have missed the toga tying class that day. Sure enough, when it came time to tie on the togas, I couldnt figure it out. Got Dons on him alright, but it still didnt look quite right he was a sport about it and wore it anyway. Mine just wasnt going on I spilled my drink on it, washed it out in the sink and proceeded to dry it with the hair dryer that just wasnt happening either. So I wore a sarong and called it a Egyptian toga. I dont think anyone bought it, but they never said so. Had saki for the first time that night at the Japanese Restaurant. The rest of the night I was so relaxed. We thoroughly enjoyed the stage show, the floorshow, and the toga contests. Laughed our sides sore Then after the show we headed for the hot tub for one last nighttime rendezvous. We didnt stay long, cause we were back in our room to finish what we started and I have to say the sex just got better and better each day we were at Hedo. We decided that its either Delroys potions, or the all day foreplay, but its definitely better at Hedo.
Friday, June 18th: Leaving Day. Don booked TimAir so we could spend an extra hour and a half at the pool. So we had breakfast and headed to the pool. We beat Delroy there. Tried talking to him while he was opening up just a word dont try that. Hes busy. At 10:00 Don ordered me a dirty banana, but he had no bananas. So we had a mud slide. And then another mudslide, and then another and another. Don checked us out of our room and sent the baggage to the front sometime, I dont remember. At 1:05 he drug me out of the pool, and the cab left at 1:10 with us in it to take us to the air strip.
What a wonderful flight to Montego Bay. Don got aerial shots of the land below, and he even turned the camera to video to record our landing. The price was $66 each person, but everyone should to do that just once.
By the time we got to Miami I was sobered up enough to deal with the most disorganized attempt to herd people from one place to another Ive ever experienced. I think about a dozen international flights must have landed in Miami at exactly the same time, and they didnt know what to do with all the people. We can all spell NIGHTMARE.
Landed at DFW about 10:30 with double the check in luggage and double the carryon luggage we left with. We were starved, and stopped at IHop in Rockwall for food. I have to tell you, people in the Dallas, Texas area are not accustomed to seeing an old white woman with her hair braded and beads dangling from the ends of those braids I did get some strange stares. A group of people sat across from us that reminded us of the party people we just left. We introduced ourselves (just like we did at Hedo), were invited to join them (just like Hedo people did), but declined because we were exhausted got home about 2am, and fell into bed.
Saturday, June 19th: Picked up the Dogs at my sons and told him all about our trip well, not everything.
Sunday, June 20th: Son calls to find out more information about the trip.
Monday June 21st: Daughter in Law calls (son couldnt talk to me without laughing) to get more information now they want to go. They almost booked it, but still had reservations. Had dinner with them and answered a ton of questions, and Im not sure if we talked them into it or out of it, but they now have The Naked Truth to read.
Monday, June 21, 6:30pm: Booked 7 days for our October wedding anniversary
So now we know the answer to: Can a 53-year-old couple go naked in public for the first time and enjoy it?
What I learned: I didnt need half of what I packed. I only really needed one suitcase.
