Altimus - June, 2006

Trip Report 6/19/6 6/25/6

Where to begin? I would like to start off at the very beginning, however, I will not bore you with the HORRIFIC airport issues but to say, I NOW KNOW WHAT HELL IS! Stuck in an airport for 6 hours while CNN is the only station available and hearing every hour, Flight 988 is delayed 30 minutes. Lets just say, a 5 hour travel time took 13.

Now, I should preface this report with Altimus TOP 20.

1. Zammies (my wife) had only been to a nude beach once in her life. She did not take to it as well as I had hoped but was up for H2 just the same for the R&R and the party atmosphere.

2. Neither Zammies nor I had ever been to Hedonism before. Everything we did, saw and or experienced was a first for the two of us.

3. Zammies and I are not into the Life Style and went there knowing full well that we would be approached and or propositioned. We also knew that PDAs were occasionally seen in the pool, hot tub, beach and various places at the resort. To this, Zammies initial statement was, If someone starts giving a BJ close to me, I will go to the prude side. After a day or two, she was cheering them on along with the rest of us.

4. We never left the nude side other than to eat, dance in the disco or go to the gift shop.

5. We rarely wore clothes and most often wore little at all for our meals.

6. Toga and PJ nights are a must.

7. Sexy, sheer and minuscule clothing is sexier than nothing at all.

8. We met some of the most FANTASTIC people on the face of the earth.

9. We met a few Vinnies and Wallies.

10. I have learned a great deal about myself and my wife in respect to how we deal with our day to day. Moving forward, SLOW DOWN! RELAX! BREATHE! And most importantly, remember Naps!

11. I fell in love with my wife all over again. She would surprise me every day.

12. DO NOT believe contests will end like you think! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

13. Zammies found out that I am not the only one who thinks she is beautiful!

14. No means No! It is that simple. There was never a contest to it.

15. Nudity is the great equalizer. Big, small, athletic, short, tall, slim, or those extra vanity pounds means nothing. Everyone is the same.

16. Dont hit the bar with a vengeance at 10:00 am and think the party will keep going till 02:00 in the morning. YOU WILL NOT LAST! Most probably, you will not remember. An open bar does not necessitate a double fisted drinking mentality.

17. The women are the ones who initiate EVERYTHING! Guys, just stand back. Be supportive and enjoy the show.

18. Dive as often as you can. It only takes 2 hours out of your day.

19. Make sure to save some US time for you and your mate. Those few moments are priceless.

20. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES unless you get the approval of the people in the background. It can turn ugly when a $500.00 digital camera gets tossed into the pool. RESPECT Mon! That is the key.

Food: Always available, always good and plentiful Service: Quick, friendly and when ever you need whatever you needed. Resort: Older, yes. But still well kept and visitor friendly. I think they should switch the nude and prude sides tho. Sex: Yes! I would like some more please. Actually, the sex police were nowhere to be seen. Pools: Clean and never overcrowded. Even on the Chocolate Hedonism week. The nude pool/Hot tub was very roomy. ECs: Not in your face. They actually came over one time to hold a T&A Contest. That is all I saw of them. Drinks: Just too much for one man!

On a score from 1 10.I give Hedo 2 a very strong 9.

From the moment we arrived until the very last second at Hedo 2 Zammies and I had the time of our lives. In this ALL TOO SHORT week, we fell in love all over again. We learned to relax again. We learned to enjoy the pleasures of life again. We met some FANTASTIC people:

That corner of the nude pool will seem dull and empty without all of you! Each of you has a special place in our hearts and minds. Next year is a MUST!

Maggie and Chris: The two of you made our vacation the greatest and most enjoyable trip ever. We will never forget you and hope to see you two again soon. NAPs!!

Sean and Lori: You were not there that long but I must say you two are great. We had a blast with you and look forward to the next trip together.

Sean and Karen: The trees will never be the same without you. The bump and grind conga line and table dancing will forever stick in my mind. We miss you guys!

Bernie and Debbie: I am sorry you dont remember your birthday Bernie, but everyone else does. Debbie, you are AWESOME!

Israel and Sarah: OH THAT SMILE! Please keep in touch. We cant go for too long with out that smile or Sarahs kisses. You two were fantastic. We have to do it again!

Bill and Maddy: Thank you for the 101, 102, and 103 intro classes. You guys were great. Bill, you gotta try harder at splashing the roof on the waterslide. Maddy, you stay as beautiful and lovely as you are. We miss you two!

Gilles and Lorianne: You are the sweetest couple I have seen in years. Congrats on the wedding! May you have many, many, many, many, many years of happiness and joy. It was an honor to be one of the witnesses at your wedding. Sorry for the casual dress! Look for the pictures and your video to come soon.

FoxxyB: We only got a moment to spend together but I know we will be going to H2 again. You are a knockout!! Keep in touch you crazy girl! If it was not for you, I would never have felt as comfortable about taking my wife to Hedo as I did. THANK YOU!

I am sure I am missing some really wonderful people. To everyone I did not mention: You were all a part of something that has made a permanent mark on Zammies and my minds, hearts and souls. No vacation has ever matched this one. The memories we have from this trip will last our lifetime. I can only imagine how great the next trip will be.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

For anyone wondering if Hedo is the right place to be:

If you and your partner/mate/loved one/boyfriend/girlfriend/husband or wife is looking for a place to be free and uninhibited, Hedo is for you! Set your boundaries first. Talk openly and honestly. Let the other person know what you expect, want and desire. Be sure to discuss any possibilities you may read about, think about or see. If you feel uncomfortable about nudity, others having sex in the open or being approached by people looking for sex, Hedo may not be for you. If you like to party, dance, drink, water slide nude at midnight, wear sexy clothes or nothing at all, Hedo is the place for you! Remember that No means NO in all things. HAVE FUN! Most of all, RESPECT!
