Ah... thinking back to the trip, what a wonderful, fun trip it was.
This was our second trip and this was the first group trip we were apart of. Being that we've experienced one non-group and one group now... by far we recommend a group trip. We have so many memories and lack of memories, thankfully Simon has photographic evidence of all the happenings. Mike, we weren't witness to your high dive off the the third floor, but as we passed your building we did hear a thud and your voice saying 'It really hurts!' Hope that helps with your quest to find out what happened to your leg.
Our flight was perfect and we even got there earlier than expected. So instead of having people wait for us, we waited for them. Nothing is better than walking through the airport, turning the corner to the Super Clubs desk and seeing so many familiar faces! I think what really helped was the chats we would do on Sundays. For those of you who didn't attend the sessions, next year please do! We decided to wait for some of the others who were landing within the hour. After chasing a porter to get our luggage back - not something you want to do when your a Wisconsin chick used to 50 degree weather now running in 90 degree heat - I took out the mug shots I printed of all the crazy characters that would be joining us and attempted to identify them as they rounded the corner.
The majority of the people on the bus were going to H3 with the exception of about 6 or so individuals. For some reason they were not smiling when they got off at Breezes. The ride to H3 went by so fast. We stopped at the usual stop and got a cool drink or two (have to have one for the rest of the ride) and proceeded to gab the rest of the way there. Check in was a lot worse this year than last, the hotel was at full capacity hence quite a wait to get the rooms. The EC's were doing double time and got us all beers that wanted them. It was going to be a longer wait and we didnt want to stand there, so we went to get some much-awaited jerk chicken and another cold frosty. Done eating, we headed back and got our rooms. Checked in, drop our luggage and our clothes (not necessarily in that order) and preceded to the pool for some much needed nekkidness.
We did our best to talk to all that wanted to talk to us and eventually ended up with the most incredibly fun group of people we will ever meet. We miss all of you terribly! Only you guys understand why we laughed when our friend said that he had put his keys in his fanny pack. How can you explain all that back here in reality?
Here are some things we learned on our trip:
1. How to politely tell someone to fuck off with a smile
2. The proper way of painting latex on a woman's behind
3. The fountain by the main dining room is just refreshing with a toga on
4. Mumbleweed causes speech impairment (who knew!)
5. Going to bed at 4am and not staying up until 1pm means you miss all the fun!
6. There is only one official tattoo boob applicator
7. Need to scratch the word Toes off all our dirty dice - it just isn't the same!
8. Blow those damn balloons up as big as possible
9. Make sure you bring tequila and a lime next time you take the cat cruise so all you have to do is lick the salt off each other
10. The true meaning of the term "all y'all"
11. That seeing the Bride naked on the day of her wedding isn't wrong
12. Dr. Love..... need I say more?
13. A vibrator also can be substituted as a firearm
14. There are only certain times when you can say 'Taste this it's gross' or 'ewwww'
15. Need to get a leg up when you go to suite parties
16. Different grooming habits of the under regions
17. Never swim away from the scuba school, you'll get in trouble
18. Telling a future daughter-in-law where you went on vacation is prohibited until the marriage certificate is signed
19. Canadians cook faster than Americans in Jamaican sun without sun block on
20. Using one piece of luggage to pack only a float is an acceptable practice
21. You too can look lady-like while smoking a stogie
22. Pay attention to those around you, you never know what might be happening
23. Watch out for commando lizards
24. You can drink the bar out of your favorite liquor
25. Little things can get you a best friend for life
26. If your room is closest to the Quad hot tub, it is now the official bathroom
27. You can actually sleep on the bus ride back to the airport
28. Cricket makes sense when you've been drinking
29. 4pm is volleyball on the nude side.... vooollllleeeeyyyyybbbbaaaallllll
30. Only in America
Our week went by like this: Get up at 9 am, eat breakfast, go to nude pool from 11 - 4ish (eat lunch sometime), nap 4-6ish, go to dinner, dress for theme night, go to disco until 1ish, hit the hot tub from 1-4ish, go to sleep until 9am the next morning! We went to the nude hot tub the first few nights and it was either too cold, too hot or we got there later and it was at capacity. So we headed to the Quad Tub and played some fun games. We watched the sun come up the last day of our trip.
Thinking back to all that happened, it makes us smile. Every now and then we will remember something someone said or did and we get a good laugh. For the record, I did try a Sambuca and Sprite when we went to dinner, Lee ordered it. I figured I had to try it and Lee said that I didn't make the right face after I sipped it. You'd think that since I saw the correct face so many times I could have duplicated it. The stuff is horrible!
For everyone that we didn't have a chance to talk to, we hope we will have that chance next year. For the few couples that we were able to talk to for a little while, it was wonderful to meet you. For the bunch of Hedo Snobs, all ya'll (did I type that right Becky?) are dearest to our hearts, may you never change.
Until the next trip!
