These are my observations of the trip only. Tammi and I decided to do seperate trip reports as we wanted to get both perspectives, so look for her report to be CUMing soon.

 

First of all, my apologies in advance, i know this is going to be excruciatingly long for a trip report. There is just so much i want to say, and so many of you mean so much to me.

 

I have to go back to the way this whole thing started for us.  Surfing the internet last year i came across Hedonism.  Checked it out a bit, and it looked like a fun, wild place that would just be a fantasy as Tammi would never EVER agree to such a thing.  I bought Chris Santilli's book on ebay and when it arrived, I almost felt like a teenager again, hoping Tammi wouldnt ask me too many questions about it.  I wanted an opportunity to read it and hoped it would help me convince Tammi to go. I just needed to read it first to know how to "spin" things. LOL.. (Tammi would tell you she HATES it that im a salesman sometimes. lol)

 

I read thru that entire book and then kept dropping hints that this would be a fun place to go. Tammi read about one or two chapters and decided there was NO WAY IN HELL that i'd ever go there!  In the book, i learned of Dennyp's website(i think) and began reading the boards and really having a blast with the back and forth of everyone from the WWW group.  From time to time, i would have tammi read a thread, if it pertained to something calm, such as being romantic, or such as noone caring your age, size, height, weight, etc, thinking this would help things.  Did it? i have no idea, perhaps her perspective will tell.

 

Wow, within days of booking the trip, we received no less than 10 emails from different attendees welcoming us and several phone calls.  Diane, you have no idea how much your soothing answers on the phone helped ease Tammi's mind i think.

 

The flight was very smooth. Customs/immigration was no more than 5 minutes. Perhaps arriving on sunday helped: no lines, waits or anything.  10 minutes later we were on the bus, our first trip to Hedo!  The bus ride was fun as we got to know Ty and Danielle,  All 6 of us on the bus ride were first timers to H2. A quick stop for a drink on the way and we were off. By the time we got to the lobby..everyone was laughing. Ty's laugh is just infectious!

 

Arriving at the lobby, we were greeted immediately by Lady Di and given a nice, warm hug. That was extremely heartwarming.  While i was checking in, Diane(the queen of WWW) arrived to welcome us and immediately brought Tammi a drink.  Ah, this was heaven.  Diane showed us to our room(directly below her's) and said "okay, get undressed and we'll go down to the nude pool where everyone is".  Well, tammi and i just sort of looked at each other. We knew we were going to do this...it just seemed very odd at the time.  I stalled a few minutes and Diane kept insisting.  Diane then dropped her sarong and said are you coming or not? heheheh, little did she know!  Tammi put on a sarong and I wrapped a towel around and headed for the pool.

 

We sort of expected there to be 10 or 15 people in/around the pool. when we came thru the clearing into the pool/hot tub area, i think my dick must have shriveled up to where you COULD actually play ring toss with cheerios. was a bit intimidating as there were probably 200 people in and around the pool.  We were immediately greeted by some dennyp board friends and within about 5 minutes started to feel strangely out of place wearing our sarong and towel. So we dropped em! entered the pool, and it was just amazing.  Probably within 10 minutes, no less than 30 people made their way over to us to welcome us with either a handshake or hug. People we had been chatting with on denny's site for months and now felt like old friends. 

 

Virgin initiation on our first night was wild.  Prior to the trip tammi had told me " There is NO WAY im doing ...." (insert whichever form of debauchery you like), well, during and after virgin initiation several of those things fell by the wayside. LOL. We stayed in the hot tub for quite a while. I heard someone talking to my back and turned around to find the famous "mario" that everyone got to meet.  I assumed he was talking to me, so i just listened as he went on and on about his great fishing trip that day and how big the fish was that he caught, continuing into his career as a nascar driver and finishing with the fact that he'd had a threesome with a set of twins. 

 

DAILY ROUTINE

 

Not much to tell here....each day we woke up(never early enough) and went to the dining room for breakfast.  Without fail, someone would call out to us to join them at their table(Christie, you are right...Hedo people are the BEST).  After breakfast we would head to the beach.  Now we both know the true definition of sand gravity. Never a single day did we go back into the pool. We were just too enamored of the beach. We would either lay on our chairs hidden down by the water or float on a raft for hours. Just talking/drinking/sharing/laughing, usually all by ourselves.  Lunch at roberts was always the best, followed by several hours more of the same.  If we got up off of the beach it was simply to go to the room for a "hedo nap" only to return to the raft for more relaxation.   Back to the room for a shower to get ready for dinner.  By the way, Tammi showered the first afternoon with one of our neighbors, heheheh,(cross another off of that list of "not doing thats".

 

After dinner, we would sit for a while and chat with whoever we ate with, then it was off for quiet, private time.  We had decided after that first night that the late night hot tub scene just wasnt for us.  We had not spent very much alone time in years, and it was amazing to just lay in a hammock next to the water for hours just talking and getting to know one another all over again.  We ended up looking forward to this time each day so that we ended up starting to our hammock or beach chair earlier and earlier each evening.   Many times not getting up and going back to the room until 3 or 4 am.

 

Hopefully, you all will give us another chance to socialize more next year, this year i just felt like i couldnt get enough of Tammi.  So instead of partying with our friends, all i wanted to do was simply snuggle with her on a hammock at night.  Promise to be more social next year.  In addition, we both have promised ourselves to spend at least a few days in the pool, rather than the beach as there are so many of you that we enjoyed chatting with online and never even got to spend more than a few minutes with because we were always on the beach.

 

PEOPLE

 

Wow, where do i start.  So many of you had a lasting impression with your kind words and fun chats before we ever even arrived. 

 

Diane: I dont even know where to begin. Your phone calls prior to the trip were wonderful.  Meeting us in the lobby and showing us to our rooms and taking us to the pool that first day. Without you, we may have just went down to the prude side!  You truly are special, and we can't wait to see you hopefully before our next hedo trip in december.

 

Gary & Georgette:  Probably my most favorite couple of the entire trip.  You all made us feel so at home, at ease, (not to mention, georgette isnt hard on the eyes either. lol)  Who else could convince tammi to do a body shot within minutes of arriving at the hot tub our first night besides you Gary???  I miss you all already and hope to see you at some DC area parties this year.

 

Bill & Patty:  Tammi saved her first NBH for you BIll, you deserved it.  So fun, so friendly, god, where would hedo be without yours and Patty's smile?  I dont think i could ever keep up with the two of you, even being probably half your ages.  You made me feel pretty old at midnight when you insisted we go to the naked waterslide. We were tired, but of course Bill was still raring to go!

 

  Lady di & Mike..never saw you much except in the dining room but always a friendly hug and smile. 

 

Brett/Christie, it turns out you are pool people so we'll have to make a date to hang out in the pool together next year, i think we'd have a blast. 

 

Jake & Hazel, what a great couple. As always, spend more than 10 minutes with these two and your sides will hurt from laughing so much. 

 

Hedobob & Heidi: again, didnt get to spend much time with you as you were in the pool, but wow, how friendly!  Sorry if i got you in trouble with the mentioning of someones engagement Bob! hehehe

 

Laird & Andra:  Speaking of engagements, Congratulations to you all.  Andra, sounds like he put alot of thought into that proposal...he must be a keeper.  Me? i just sorta said..."UH, like, uh..do ya wanna go check out some rings or somethin"??? We almost had a PDA in the ocean one day, as Tammi and i are hanging on a raft and beginning to "enjoy" when out of the blue we hear " NO WAY IM DOING THAT"..of course it was you laird, up there on the shore/sand watching from behind those dark sunglasses. Well, we both got to laughing and of course couldnt finish after that...so you were right...NO WAY WE WERE DOING THAT, thanks alot buddy, ill repay ya!

 

Lynette & Alberta: Wow, PJ night will never be the same for me. WOW.  thanks for the dinner company as well a couple of times.  Where else can you sit in a dining room and watch several woman comparing body parts and piercings. (Note to the guys, make sure to sit next to alberta for the best piercing views)

 

Patty & Rupe: enjoyed every minute of the 5 minutes we got to spend with you. Im definately going to get some Rupe towels next year. i found myself wanting to put on nothing except a towel a few times..but didnt want to seem like a Rupe groupie. Lord knows he has them all over the place anyways.

 

Greg & Kim: sitting on the raft with you and eating jerk chicken and drinking...boy, it doesnt get much better than that.  I can still hear a VERY drunk kim laughing as she goes down the slide naked in the middle of the day.

 

Chris S.  a legend in her own time.  The true goddess of hedo. Thanks for helping Tammi with her toga, even if we had just decided we werent going to wear em.  Nothing like seeing lipstick on your wife's boob for the first time, THANKS. lol.

 

John & Renee: Two of my favorite people.  When i read your trip report from last year, i just knew i HAD to bring something from those keebler elves.  Thank you for allowing us to accompany you to dinner at both restaraunts.  The company couldnt have been better.  Learned alot from you guys...mostly to steer clear of any brownies. Renee, thanks for the nice CALM plane ride home, i have you to thank for that. ( i think Tammi thanks you as well!)

 

The snobs(lane/april, jef/laura):  what can you say about them..they're snobs and wouldnt talk to me even if i wanted em to.  Just kidding...loved the necklace made of cheerios and all the fun chats prior to the trip.  Hmmm..now that im thinking about "the twins"...im wondering if perhaps those were the "twins" that "mario" had the threesome with??? hmmm.

 

Alan,  A true gentleman!  a great guy. one that i wish i had a sister for..cause you truly are a delightful single male.  If all were like you, the vinnie term would quickly go by the wayside.

 

Chris: speaking of vinnies..just kidding.  Leftear...we had a blast in the chats prior to the trip. you were another of those that i couldnt wait to meet. hope i didnt disappoint with my quiet, shy self in person as opposed to the obnoxiousness with which i chat.  Again, you were a gentleman always, although i wouldnt leave Tammi with you..cause she thinks you're WAAAAAY cute. lol. We were sorry to see you had to leave early, and even sorrier to hear of your loss. You are in our prayers, and we definately hope to see you again next december if you come back.

 

BIG STEVE: phew..what can i say...don't wanna get beat up. hmmm. alright...didnt see you much as i spent the entire week hiding from you...didnt want to end up getting thrown in the pool.  You and Char were great to meet, and was great to watch you winning all of the items at MMB, (even if YOU dont remember) hehehe

 

so many others i could go on for days(ive already gone on for hours).  If i didnt mention you, it means that you had NO LESS of an impact on our vacation, just simply that im running out of time. We love you all. 

 

The final person i want to mention is Tammi:  Tammi, you truly made this the vacation of a lifetime for me. I can't remember how long it's been since i wanted nothing more than to just be with you for hours on end.  Was it high school? when we first started dating?  It's been years, i know that.  The time with you in the hammock was the best time i've spent in years.  We laughed, cried, kissed, hugged, smiled, talked, snuggled, all to the sounds of the water and the tree-frogs(and occasional shout from the hot tub).  Don't think i was watching you too closely at hedo, that wasnt it. Ive NEVER seen you so beautiful that you could just take my breath away. i couldnt stop looking at you.  You'd put on your slutwear and i would just die!!  I feel like i found my soulmate all over again at hedo, and it just made me appreciate how wonderful you are all over again.  Imagine, some men find beauty, some find brains, some find friendship, some find a great lover, some find a buddy...I FOUND ALL OF THAT in you. perhaps it just took hedo to remind me!

 

As we left, Tammi had to be coaxed into getting out of her sarong and back into clothes for the trip back to the airport. i guess she decided she liked that nude thing.   The plane ride back home was uneventful and actually calm thanks to a certain friend and her little pills.

 

In closing, let me just say that hedo is alot of things. It's wild, erotic, passionate, wacky, immature, and ROMANTIC.  I never would have imagined that we'd go there and have the most romantic trip of our lives..but thats exactly what happened.  

 

I didnt mention the food or rooms(although they were all good) because its not any of those that made the trip for us...it was the people. the same people that we will definately be spending the first week of December with next year and from here on out.  Next year we'll be there for at least 10 days with ya.

 

Enthusiastically

 

Mike
