Winter 2003 WWW trip December 2-13
Eleven nights seemed a good length for this trip. It was just enough time to have fun and not too long that I would get bored and anxious to get home. Jaime spent a few nights in New York with me before and after the trip, which is always very nice.
This was both Jaime and my 15th trips to Hedo. We arrived on Tuesday, December 2nd, a few days earlier than the rest of the WWW crew. We were given room 2239 in H-block. Upon getting there we found that our room had two twin beds instead of a king. No problem, mon. Within 10 minutes someone came by with the keys to our new room, 2234. They said they thought that Jaime was a girl's name and they assumed we were two girls sheesh! We spent the first few days relaxing on the beach and hanging out in the pool with some other early arrivals and a few people who left before the group showed up. We got to hang out with Cherbunny and the Marlboro Man, Maz & Brian from the UK, Joyce (Lady Chats-a-Lot) and Dieter AND we got to meet the Diva herself, Ms. Anita, and her hubby, Art. I have always wanted to meet Anita because I enjoy reading her posts on Denny P's message board. What a pleasure it was!
The weather was decent, lots of sun mixed with a few clouds here and there. The surf was really rough a couple of days, due to some off-shore storm. I was told there were a couple of sprinkles, but I seemed to have been indoors during both hee hee. Usually I just like roasting in the sun, but on this trip I spent more time in the pool than ever. I guess I'm getting too old for all that sun and humidity. Sheesh!
On Wednesday we went to the repeater party where I FINALLY won the free week woo hoo! Jaime could have won a free week also during that party but decided not to raise his hand. <shrug> I was very happy, to say the least. I think I'll use the free week to come back to Denny's Winter 2004 WWW trip to be a bridesmaid at the wedding of the Ice Princess and her Prince. ;)
As you may (or may not) remember from previous trip reports, Jaime and I don't usually hang out at the resort on toga night. We prefer to go off-site for dinner. Along with some of the other WWW regulars who showed up before the rest of the group we decided to spend the first of our toga night at Kuyaba.
I had seen their web site and based on a few good reviews from friends who had eaten there I wanted to check it out. The restaurant is only about a 5-minute drive from Hedo, and they provide round-trip transportation if you need it. Their van holds 10 people comfortably. If your group is larger you will need multiple round-trips. Remember to tip the driver!
The restaurant is set back far from the road, right on the beach. Torches are lit every where. You can dine inside under the thatch roof or on the deck under the stars. The food was reasonably priced and very, very tasty. The service was excellent. We liked it so much that a few people in our group of ten decided it would be worth a return visit on toga night the following week. We made a reservation for 30 people, confident that we could get at least 20 people to come out with us. For the dinner menu click here: http://www.kuyaba.com/dinner.htm
On Friday morning I learned of the passing of Lachi, the owner of the duty-free shop at Hedo. I was very shocked to hear the news, as I had seen him strolling through the Spanish courtyard just the night before. For some reason the management at Hedo made no announcement of his death, but the store was closed for two or three days. Some guests said that a management person overheard them talking about Lachi's passing and came over to them to demand how they found out about it. I don't understand that at all. Lachi was a fixture at Hedo, well known and respected. I thought they should have had at least a small memorial for him instead of keeping his passing a secret.
The days and nights we spent at Hedo prior to the WWW group's arrival were peaceful and uneventful. But once the group started arriving on Saturday some stuff did go wrong.
There were at least 2 or 3 days when there were no French fries at Robert's grill. The first time there was no oil for frying. The next few times there were no fries to fry in the fresh new oil, even though the prude grill seemed to have plenty. Doh! Bacon and pickles seemed to be scarce a lot, too. At least they had plenty of beef patties during this trip, but they were definitely smaller than in the past.
There was plenty of fresh lobster being sold on the beach while we were there. We were frequent consumers, as Jaime couldn't seem to stop reaching into his wallet to buy them. Robert will cook 'em up for you, but you have to wait until the major lunch rush for burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches is over. He cooks them on the same grill as he does the hamburgers and hot dogs, so if you have allergies to shellfish WATCH OUT!
On quite a few nights the hot tub was more like a chilled tub. The sand filter broke on the hot tub on Friday, the day before the mad invasion of WWW members. The tub was cold, cold, cold BRRRRR! The guy who came to replace the filter on Saturday actually BROKE the replacement and had to go all the way to Runaway Bay for another one. Hence, the hot tub was out of commission for the night. The filter was finally fixed on Sunday afternoon but it was not in time to heat the hot tub for the WWW Virgin Initiations, so they had to be postponed.
Sunday was the private WWW cocktail party in the disco. This is the night when the Christmas gifts for the school kids are collected. While there were lots of gifts on the stage again this year, I thought it was not as much as we had collected in previous years. I was later told that over 400 gifts had been counted so I guess I was wrong. Of course, Don & Colette brought in a HUGE suitcase stuffed with a whole lot of presents well after the party, as they arrived a few days later. Denny gave out a few prizes during this party.
My favorite part of this party was when, in an emotional moment, Tom, the Marlboro Man (a.k.a. Ice Prince) announced that for his wedding to Cheryl (the Ice Princess) next December Denny P would give the bride away and George (BigDog) would be his Best Man. Tom's voice cracked noticeably a couple of times, and the Cherbunny had to come to his rescue and give him a huge hug. A lot of us wimps cried it was so beautiful. J
This year's MMT took place, as usual, on Monday afternoon immediately following the Wet T-shirt contest. The WWW was robbed of the title this year, as a non-WWW gal won the top prize. Soon thereafter, the BIGGEST MMT ever got underway. Partymon got 3 buses this year and we all headed out on our merry way.
The first stop was Time Square shopping center. Jaime and I were sitting in the last row of the bus with some guy named Uri, who neither of us recognized. It didn't even occur to anyone on the bus that he did not have a "rasta" bracelet on his wrist, which the Partymon gave out to all MMT members to identify us. When we arrived at the shopping center Uri asked out loud why we were stopping. I told him this was just the first of many stops we would make on the MMT. He looked utterly confused and said "This is not the bus to the airport?" Oh my GAWD!!!! The poor guy was on the wrong bus!!! Our driver, Jimmy, had to take Uri back to Hedo so he could get on the right bus. I hope he didn't miss his flight. Duh.
After an hour of shopping at Time Square we loaded up the buses and hit our next stop, Three Dives. It is a roadside restaurant that really lives up to its name. It is a real "dive". Looks like a shack and it has an outhouse for a restroom. At least the water runs, the toilet flushed, there seemed to be plenty of TP, and it did not stink. The urinal for the men is right outside the restroom and has no door. Anyone entering or exiting the enclosed restroom can see you guys doing your business in there. I know most men don't give a rat's ass if anyone sees them peeing. I only got a glimpse of one guy using the urinal thanks Gary! ;)
Immediately upon arrival at the Three Dives a vote was taken and it was decided that we would skip the sunset at Rick's and watch it from there instead. We also decided to take advantage of the cheap drinks and the lobster special on the menu. Ting was $1 a bottle, Red Stripe was $2 a bottle and the lobster special was 3 grilled lobsters with rice and peas and callaloo for JA$1000 (about US $20).
We all hung around near the cliff, took lots of pictures, watched the rough surf crashing against the caves, and waited for our food to be served and for the sunset. I even got my hair braided, thanks Janie! Well, needless to say, the sunset came and went and our food was still not ready. We spent a lot more time at this place than I thought we would. A couple of people in our group didn't wait for their food and returned to Hedo without the rest of the group.
When our food was finally ready we had a small misunderstanding with the servers as they began to give our food to other patrons who arrived there who were not part of our group. Ugh! All in all, the food was good (and cheap!) and the view was nice from the cliff, but the dining area was too close to the main road for my comfort and the bathroom facilities were less than what this pampered princess is accustomed to.

Since we stayed here so late and we opted out of watching the sunset at Rick's that left only one more stop on the MMT Jenny's. Our bus did not want to make that stop so we headed back to Hedo while the other two buses went over to Jenny's. Over the course of a couple of days I had a few nibbles from the cakes that my friends offered me and I have to say they were the best tasting ever. They actually tasted like CHOCOLATE! No ganja taste whatsoever. Actually, I don't believe there was ANY ganja in them at all. Absolutely NOBODY got a buzz from these cakes. I think everyone felt ripped off. I didn't care. I actually preferred the cake without the buzz hee hee.
Tuesday, PJ night, was kind of weird. We all went to the disco and saw our friends in their various PJ outfits. But sometime after midnight we noticed a huge puddle of water on the floor around the bar. We heard that the pool above the disco was leaking water into the bar from either a crack in the wall or in the silicone around the windows behind the bar. I wasn't so sure that was true but I was not willing to take a chance. Many of us left the disco and headed to the hot tub instead, where we were sure the water wouldn't kill us LOL! Later on we learned that our paranoia was unfounded. The water was coming up from a drain in the floor that had backed up. Oh jeez. Many people from our group that had left the disco had won some of the prizes but were not there to receive them. Oh well I'm pretty sure they'll survive without that bottle of Appleton Rum or Tia Maria.
Wednesday was the busiest week of the whole entire trip, at least for me. The first ever WWW Erotic Gift exchange was held at 2PM on Wednesday (Dec. 10th) in the piano bar. Luckily (?) it was cloudy that afternoon and it looked like it might rain, otherwise I don't think we would have had such a good turnout. Somehow I got elected to be the emcee of the event. After having been through a few of these gift exchanges on a much smaller scale with our little FILP travel group I thought I did OK in running the *BIG* show. With 63 gifts in play it took a little less than 2 hours to finish the whole thing. It was a huge success, if I do say so myself ;) LOL! I think this will become a regular event at upcoming Winter WWW trips. Some of the gifts were a riot. My favorites were Sammy the Singing Schlong, the blue double dong, the bondage ball, and my all-time personal favorite the vibrating rubber ducks!
Immediately after the gift exchange we had a stocking stuffing party in Queen Di's room. The SSSSS (Santa's Sensuous Stocking Stuffing Sluts) filled 4 crates of stockings stuffed with candy, crayons, coloring pads, pencils & pencil sharpeners, kazoos, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. The girls' stockings had hair accessories, bubbles, and jewelry. The boys' stockings got little racecars and gliders. We also had lots of little stuffed animals which we could not fit in the stockings so they had to be handed out separately to each kid.
After taking what was needed to the school children there were still enough stockings and wrapped gifts left over to give to the Hedo staff for them to take home to their children. All in all, I'd say this was another hugely successful Christmas gift campaign! J
As my throat was sore from all the yelling I had to do during the gift exchange, and my back was hurting after stuffing all those stockings, I opted out of going to the weekly repeater party. Jaime tucked me in for an early evening nap and went on his merry way to the party. I dutifully reminded him not to eat any shrimp as we did not want a repeat of last year's "shrimp incident". Well, looks like I should have gone with him 'cuz my sweetie won the free week at the party one week after I won MY free week. Woo Hoo!!!! J Later on, after attending Gary's birthday party dinner at Pastafari's we went on Denny's night catamaran cruise wearing our glow accessories. The cruise was as nice as it had been last year, but there were no shooting stars.
The following night, Thursday, was the night we were supposed to go to Kuyaba with 30 guests for dinner. The evening was somewhat of a disaster.
Everyone who was supposed to come out with us changed their minds at the last minute! For various reasons our group of thirty dwindled to a trio (me, Jaime, and Queen Di). Before we knew it the Kuyaba van arrived to pick up 30 people and we had the unpleasant and embarrassing task of explaining to the driver and later, to the restaurant manager, that we were IT. No more people were coming. They had done a beautiful job of arranging the tables on the deck for our large group and we ended up occupying a small table in the corner. They were still very gracious (although I could tell the manager was pissed!) and the service and food were just as excellent as the week before. Thank goodness a group of 10 people showed up and were able to use one of the tables that we had reserved. We didn't feel so bad after that.
Friday was an uneventful day, except that we got our eviction notice and had to pack and tear down our door decorations. It was sooo, sooo sad. L Before we knew it the week was over. Our last day was spent on the beach soaking up a few more rays before having to rush off to Jake's room to shower and get ready for the bus to the airport. Gary, Georgette Jaime and myself all ran around throwing clothes on our still damp bodies and quickly dried off Jake's wet floors before heading off to the buses.
We got on the HUGE party bus and Ashley saw us off with a couple of renditions of "We're All Horny on the Nude Side". We had a huge send-off from Moon Hill from all the remaining WWW'ers. It was a beautiful sight, all those nekkid butts wiggling at our bus as we left the property. I laughed so hard I almost cried.
Below are some of the highs and lows of the trip:
The Good
Spending time with our very good friends (too many to name here but you all know who you are!)
Meeting Anita & Art finally!
Meeting Gary & Georgette you guys are wicked awesome! Don't know how we missed meeting you last year.
Meeting George and Gail I can see why the people from Greenland really love you guys ;)
Lobster, lobster, lobster all week long
The erotic gift exchange hilarious!
Floating exfoliating massage by the Marlboro Man in the nude pool
The most EXCELLENT poolside massage by Corey thank you soooo much. It was really awesome. J
Having a romantic encounter with my honey in the "Fornicatorium" in broad daylight a truly yummy experience!
Checking out some of the really creative and funny door decorations. My favorites door were Cheryl & Tom's "Porno Christmas" door , Patty & Rupe's "towel" door, and Jennifer & Louis' "baby announcement" door.
Being a part of the singing group, The Sluts, in the piano bar. My sisters and I we ROCK!
Seeing some our good friends perform "Piece by Piece" on the piano you GO, girls! (You know who you are!)
Watching "Puppetry of the Penis" on the piano who knew that a guy's dick could be so flexible?
The discovery of a new drink called "Tie Me to the Bedpost" WOW!!!!
AND the best part both my honey and I winning our free weeks at the repeater parties!!!
The Bad
The hot tub being out of order most of the week (too coooool for me, brrrr)
The passing of Lachi and the lack of a memorial service by Hedo
Having to go to the prude grill for fries a few days when Robert did not have any
Lack of bananas at the bar for a few days (no Hummingbirds or Dirty Bananas!)
The two-hour delay at Sangster on our return trip home. Our flight to JFK was delayed because the plane we were supposed to use was being delayed elsewhere. We had to wait for a back-up plane from Kingston sigh. But at least we got to spend some time at Margaritaville with our friends before they went off on their own flights. I can't stand their margaritas (it's the tequila, it sucks!) but I love their nachos!
The In Between
The toned down Virgin Initiations due to lack of heat in the hot tub and/or many of the virgins not knowing about the rescheduled sacrifices er, initiations, our turn-out was not what I expected. But the carrot cake body shots (courtesy of the Ice Princess) and the chocolate frosted nipples and dicks (courtesy of yours truly!) were very tasty and definitely enjoyed by those who showed up.
The Sand Girl was permanently "Off Duty" on this trip. I showed up at the first volleyball game and I could see that it was a very SERIOUS game. Anyone who fell in the sand quickly got up and wiped his or her self off without ever calling me! Only Duck called for my services once. I think he did it just to make me feel wanted. Whatever. I never found my way back to the volleyball court all week. Sorry, folks. I was too busy enjoying the sun, having massages, or stuffing stockings. Maybe I'll bring my fluffy brush again with me next year. We'll see.
There was a very noticeable absence of Richard Bourke. I saw him briefly when we first arrived and then there was no sight of him for the rest of our stay. I later heard a rumor that he was on a fishing vacation. Hmm. I just thought it was kind of strange that he'd be gone when the WWW group was there, but of course, the man is entitled to his vacation just like everybody else.
The new nude pool bathrooms. This week it was a unisex bathroom (boys to the left, girls to the right). It was brightly lit at night and not as scary as I thought it would be. Still, I see the potential for problems later when the renovated Men's room is finally re-opened and the new bathroom goes back to being a Ladies' room. It's too near to the pump room where there are always a bunch of workers slacking off during the day, and where creeps can hide at night.
Overall we had a very good trip. Well, this is the end of my report whew! Look forward to next year's Winter WWW. Until then One Love!
