Nick & Frances - March, 2004
3/13-3/18
Hey all, just got back from our first Hedo experience and it
WAS AMWESOME! First let me thank all the people we met via
denny's board for making us feel welcome: Todd and Tocha, Troy and Olive, Bo
and Paul, Chris and Julie, you guys were great at making newbies feel at
ease, and we will forever appreciate it. Now, onto the report:
All went smoothly, Air
Jamiaca staff was very friendly and the serivce was great.
Problems
here. Got to the Superclubs desk at MBJ, and we weren't on the arrival
list--called resort, said our travel agent had cancelled our reservation.
Got on bus to Negril, arrived. Check-in staff puts us in a room and
said we could sort out the travel problems on Monday (turned out to be a
system error....a different "Archer" cancelled.
Went to the
nude side to bask in the hot, hot sun. Met up with people from the borad.
Interestingly, neither of us were that uncofortable with the nudity, guess
reading the Naked Truth "primed" us as to what to expect. Spent most of the
day at the beach and pool lounging and chatting, save for when a shower came
in and we retired to the room. Danced at night in the main dining hall.
Back to the beach, more
pool, more chat, lounging around. Another shower. Disco at night. Drinking,
Drinking, more drinking. Karaoke at the piano bar. I sang "Sweet Child O'
Mine" from GNR, which earned me the nickname of "Axl Rose" for the rest of
the week!
Glass-bottom cruise in the morning. The reef was beautiful, and it was
especially cool to see the fish come to the surface to eat the bread staff
members fed them. Beach, pool and raft lounging. NAKED WATER SLIDE! Led by
EC Winston and signal caller Troy, we "raided" the prude side for a water
slide race! PJ party was a riot! I dressed as an 80's rocker, and got
refferred to as "Paul Stanley" by several people. Frances wore a sexy
Fredrick's piece, which, oddly enough Andrea (another person we met on this
board) was also wearing. They ended up winning second place for best couple.
Beach and pool again. Body painting-Frances got a lovely flower. Live piano
bar at night. Sang "Satisifaction and "Hard Day's Night" which earned great
rounds of applause and comments.
Thursday: The dreaded eviction day. Said our goodbyes, packed, had the last
drink for the road. Hugs from the staff. Bus ride back was uneventful.
Flight out of MBJ was late arrving, and we misssed our connection in ATL.
Delta put us up in a local Ramada. Returned today to the cold and snow of
NH, freckled, tanned, and slightly burned, yet happy and rested from our
amazing experience.
All friendly and courteous. Special metions on EC's Winston, LaToya, Foy and
Ray Ray for all their enthusiasm and humor.
Not bad, certainly better than anything at a college dorm. Pastafari was
excellent, particularly loved the Chicken Carbonara.
Drinks were excellent at all bars. Once again, I'd like to thank ALL the
people we met down there, They were all friendly and great to talk to, and
gave alot of great advice.
Absolutely! We're going to save our pennies so we can book even earlier next
year. Really, it was one of the best times we've had in our lives
both personally and as a couple.definetly stay the whole week so we can take
advantage of the other activities the resort has to offer. We hope to see
some of you all back down there again next year!
