Gary - December, 2006 Wet, Wild, and Wicked

OK.  Here it is.  A review from a newbie, 45 yr old single guy.  Well almost a newbie.  I met some of the hedo attendees back in July and October during separate vacations.  So I guess you could say I was more of a second semester freshman.
 
In three words, my description of my hedo2 experience(s) is that it was a "DREAM", an "EDUCATION" and that it was created by the presence of all those wonderful "PEOPLE".   They all made this trip sooooooo special.  That is the most accurate description I can come up with.  The activities, excitement, the people, all make you feel like you are a child again.  You just feel so free.
 
Anyway, here's my story with no names in order to protect the innocent and the guilty.
 
I got there about 4:30pm on Friday.  It was mainly an uneventful bus ride from the airport.  However, I did meet a nice couple from Daytona Beach.  I thank them for giving me a heads-up as to what to expect and also showing me the location of my room.  As the bus arrived, I changed into my "I'd Rather be Masturbating" tee-shirt".  This apparently generated little to no response from the guests.  Stuff like that is kind or normal for hedo.  Too early for dinner, so I figured I might as well decorate my room.  I brought a full suitcase of decorations, costumes and accessories in order to contribute to the DennyP group activities.  After 2 and 1/2 hours decorating my room, I decided on some dinner a little after 7:00pm.  That was short and quick.  Then I decided to hit the hay.  I was just wore out from the trip and really didn't feel like getting into any activities.  Then on my way to my room, I meet 2 couples that I met in the states back in October.  Nice to see some familiar faces.
 
The next day.  I saw a spectacular sunrise.  Then, on to breakfast.  Two very kind people from Alabama invited me to join them for breakfast.  They recognized me and my hat from the DennyP website.  Then a guy from Oregon introduced himself and we all talked.  Then a woman from Arizona comes by.  I met her last July.   She helped convince me to go on this trip.   I gave her the biggest hug.  At last, I'm starting to enjoy the hedo experience.  We just talked about who we each were and they gave me the scoop on what to expect at hedo.  I saw and spoke to them later at the nude pool during late morning and early afternoon.  Then IT happened.  I drank from the jug.  Well, 2 jugs.  A purple concoction in one jug and a red mix in the other.  I guzzled as much as I could from each jug.  I think I was passed out within 15 minutes.  For the next 10 hours I had no recollection of reality.  Over that time period I had accumulated eyeballs above my you-know-what, some writing on my chest, spectacular toenail painting and someone removed the temporary rose tattoo off my butt.  I have seen pictures.  I was not a pretty site.  I do want to thank the whole group for keeping a watchful and caring eye over me.  They moved me from the pool to an area in the shade.  I was woken at midnight by pounding on my door.  I woke, wondering, how did I get to my room, and why was it so dark outside.  I opened the door to see all of these familiar happy faces which included this charismatic woman from Florida.  She's the other woman who convinced me back in July to go on this trip.  Everyone was glad to see I was now upright.  Then they sort of stood in awe looking at my strangely decorated room.  Is it that they think something serious is wrong with me after being "out" for 10 hours?   I hope not.  So what do I do next?  Well I do what most people do at hedo around midnight.  Go to the nude hot tub and drink some more.  From this point on, for me, the beverage of choice is beer.  At about 2 or 3am I call it a night.
 
OK.  Now days 3 thru 5.  For me, each of those days all had a similar routine.  I would wake up fairly early (6:30ish) to see the sunrises.  They were spectacular.  Then I would catch breakfast and wander over to a lounger on the nude beach.  Then late morning or early afternoon I would play botchee ball.  Toss a croquet type ball in the sand.  The ball closest to the target wins.  The winners get hedo bucks.  About 1pm I would move over to the nude pool.  You just kind of hang out with people and talk and drink.  I would always see that jug going around.  No more "JUG" for me.  Then, between 5 and 6pm, I would shower and get ready for dinner.  I always ate at the buffet for the meals.  Me being a single guy that does not cook, I found the food to be adequate.  Not spectacular, but the choice seemed to be good.  I only ate breakfast and dinner.  So I don't know how good the food is for lunch.  For the theme nights on those days, I participated in: mini-skirt night, school girl night and pajama night.   All of those events were soooo much fun.  I never dressed in woman's clothes before.  But it was so much fun.  I'm not interested in dressing that way in the states.  It's just the atmosphere that creates a need to join in the fun.   I had a blast making so many people laugh and have a fun time.  After the nightly events, I would drop-off my costume clothing in my room and go off to the nude hot-tub around midnight.  I found the water to be too hot for me, so I would just sit on a foam lounger cushion on the concrete next to the hot-tub for about 2 hours.  I would just drink beer and converse with some of the people that I met.  It's not uncommon to have more than 100 people in the nude hot tub at 1 or 2am.  From my vantage point, I could see there was some sexual activity going on between individual couples every once in a while.   I can't say for sure.  I'm not one to stare.  I'm not a "Wally" or a "Vinnie".  I just let people do their own thing.  At around 2am I would head to my room to rest up for the next day.  A note about my room.  I had a "nude" ocean view room.  It was great.  However, my room was next to the pathway to the nude hot tub.  A lot of joviality and loud conversation took place from midnight to about 4am.  People going to and from the hot tub.  Most rooms along this pathway, are not for light sleepers.  For me, the beer did the trick.  I was told by some of the other guests that it's nice and quiet at the prude side of the resort.  They walk a little bit more, but they say it's worth it to have the quiet at night. 
 
On, day 6, This is my favorite day of the whole trip.  It started to rain early afternoon.  So I thought I would go up to the dining area and participate in the wet-tee shirt contest.  I put on my clothes from mini skirt/school girl night.  It was a blast.  Everyone (participants and audience) had so much fun.  From there, I changed into normal casual wear (tee-shirt sandals and shorts) grabbed my gifts and went to the exotic/erotic gift exchange.  I went with 3 friends (repeaters) that gave me the scoop on how this event operates.  You can steal someone else's gift.  It was really a lot of fun.  I stole a gift.  I didn't want to take a chance on winning an inflatable wife, goat or ??.  I had a spectacular time and I'm glad I experienced that with those 3 friends.  After the gift exchange, I join the same 3 people at the prude beach grill.  We are just sitting there talking and eating.  Then we see this old (late 60's?) guy sitting in the window of his room about 50 feet away just staring at us.  Not even a flinch.  This guy is a "Wally" if I ever saw one.  But nobody is naked here.  It just seems odd.   That's just one of those strange things I remember from the trip.  Next on the agenda for me is "GLOW" night.  Yea baby, alright!!!    I brought about 50 LED lights to hand out.  Mostly a flashing pendant worn around the neck.   I was not able to pass out lights to everyone that I wanted to.  I feel bad that I did not bring more.  So many people and not enough lights.  However, I did enjoy "glow" night immensely.  We even did some shadow dancing with all sorts of lights.   This was an interesting night as far as learning new things.  I had no idea I was going to learn about the things that I did.  The "Phallic" and "Rainbow" symbols.  Those of you that told me about this, I thank you.  Oh yea,  I still have to burn a thong.  Next on the agenda, Nude hot tub.  I like this night because I hang around that charismatic woman I mentioned earlier and also some of the nicest people to spend time with.  OK, there was a "fly in the ointment" at the hot tub.  This is something called a "LandShark".  I didn't know anything about LandSharks, but I learned about it here.  They are guys that tend to creep up on unsuspecting women in the hot tub.  Me, not paying attention missed the offensive acts.  But the people I was with, really made sure this guy was going to leave.  Guys, if your a LandShark, please don't go to hedo.  It's not a pleasant experience.  Anyway, playing with glow sticks in the hot tub was fun.  Not only that, I happily get to spend the rest of the night as "LandShark Repellant" for the charismatic woman.
 
day 7, In the afternoon I was fed a Sambooka and some Tequila.  Well I'm not into the strong stuff.  That caused me to go crash in my room about 5pm.  I ended up missing toga night.  But the night was not a total loss.  The charismatic woman, came to check on me.  She woke me up at midnight.  So off I go to the hot-tub to hang out with her and some good friends.   
 
day 8,  I took it easy as this was my last full day.  Playboy night was tonight.  I didn't bring a costume for this night.  I only showed up as a spectator, but the women that dressed for this all looked spectacular.  At least I'm glad I went to be a spectator.  Some people made me feel guilty that I didn't dress for this one.  I guess they expected me to dress for this event because I participated in most of the other DennyP events.  After that, go the the nude hot tub about midnight, then go to my room and crash about 1:30am.  Had to crash early in order to restup for travel day tomorrow.
 
Travel day.  I get to kiss and hug as many women as I can.  My excuse.  To say goodbyes.  Time to go home.  Put the suitcase out at the door by 11am, Bus leaves at Noon, Flight leaves Montego Bay at 3:30pm.  I had the pleasure to share the bus and and a meal at the airport with some very special people.  All of you made the trip home feel like a last sip of spectacular wine.  A taste of something that you just want to never forget.
 
 As a single guy, I really had a blast.  I want to mention, to you guys.   You may have a different agenda while attending a trip like this.  Some guys are of the "Land-Shark" type, others are "Vinnies" or "Wallys".   Many others have good intentions.  Don't just go there for sex.  You may be disappointed.  It depends when you go and what group is there.  There were a few guys at this trip, interested in one night stands.  They left hedo at least enjoying the activities and having fun.  Each week, things transpire differently.  My intentions for this trip were a little different.  The people that convinced me to go to hedo said I would enjoy the trip more if I go with an open mind and participate in the fun and excitement.  Just go to chill-out, relax and soak-up the atmosphere.  As they suggested, I went to hedo with those thoughts in mind.  I also ended up "growing" many new friendships.   Anyone interested in going to hedo should realize, in order to get the most fun out of a trip like this, it helps to get involved in some of the activities and treat everyone with respect.
 
Be happy, stay healthy.
