Had no trouble on the trip down, ran into some old Hedo friends on the plane and ended up sharing a TimAir flight with them. Only problems we had was that it took 45 minutes to get through Immigration at MoBay airport. Once we got through, TimAir met us, took us right to the plane and off we went. I think next time I will stop at SuperClubs desk and get all the registration forms. Talked to others who did this, and when they got to Hedo, their keys were waiting for us.

Once at Hedo was assigned 2117 asked for a better room and was given 2278. Took me all of 1 minute to meet some old friends and the vacation began. Only negative was it took 3 hours to get the bags from the front desk to our rooms. Seemed that they wrote the room number on our luggage tag where nobody could see it. Called the front desk couple of times and finally walked upstairs and got them delivered. It could have been worse, met a couple who flew Air Jamaica down and for the second year in a row Air Jamaica lost their luggage.

Spent time with a couple of Hedo virgins and one second timer. Both have promised to write detailed trip reports, however I promised them I wouldn’t use their names to protect the guilty. So in order to keep my promise to Kim, Laurie, Horatio and Rick I have decided to give them fake names. For the rest of the report Kim will be known as Kim, Laurie as Laurie, Horatio as Horatio and Rick as Rick. I hope that wasn’t too confusing.

While we spent lots of time and all of our meals with old friends of ours such as Lee and Terri, it was nice to spend some time with newbies. After 20 trips, you become jaded to lots of things at Hedo and it was nice to see it through enthusiastic newcomers. I had met Laurie and Horatio on AOL and had met them at Hedo last year, though we didn’t spend a lot of time together. I met and talked to Kim and Rick on line during the year and met them for the first time at Hedo. Sometimes you talk to people on line and then when you meet them it is hi how are you and that is it, in this case it worked out better then that as we spent most of our vacation together.

Kim and Rick were getting married there and while talking to them on line, I was invited to be part of the wedding party. It was a grand wedding in pure Hedo style. More on the wedding later.

Ran into Laurie and Horatio early in the trip. Our meeting this year was not as spectacular as last years. I don’t remember it but Laurie said her first running into of me was in the hottub when she found herself nose to my crack. As I said I don’t remember that meeting, but as I told Laurie, it was a good thing I didn’t have beans for breakfast. For this trip I brought a raft shaped a little like a dinosaur. I think Kim first recognized me, when she saw me humping the raft as Laurie yelled Henryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to me from the beach. (The klass of this trip report will continue to be as crass – sorry). Kim and Rick quickly introduced themselves and the fun continues.

Some housekeeping notes. Not much has changed since last trip. Towels were in plentiful supply. Could always get a bunch at breakfast, they delivered them to hottub couple times at night and the turn one in get one plan seems to be gone. The inmates won that fight. Beautiful new mural by hottub and no more annoying light at hottub. Can’t remember anything else that was new since this summer. The day we arrived they were fixing the cold water so there wasn’t any for around 5 minutes, after that we had no problem with the hot water or water pressure. Food was decent, not the best that I have had at Hedo but not the worst. Ate in the restaurant a couple of times, service was excellent in there. Food was decent but I think there were fewer choices then you use to have. We missed Chinese nite this year, which was nice. Also they didn’t have dinner or lunch on the beach this week.

TV room got a little use, stopped by one morning to catch scores and found a porno movie playing at 9 AM. Played some slots, one nite only had $2 so I bought 2 $1 slots and hit a hot streak and won $120. Won 7-8 hand of poker in a row. I paid for dinner that nite.

Hottub – It was cold several nites, in fact on New Years eve you couldn’t even stay in it, no heat at all. Many people complained and it was quickly fixed. No hottub police at all. Was told later that staff was supposed to break up PDA’s that were occurring in public, but that rule was generally ignored. Before the wedding we had to have the wedding co-ordinator go out to the point to break up a couple who were warming up the area for the wedding couple.

There was some activity in Hottub around 5-7 each nite, but I heard it really heated up around 3 AM on a couple of occasions. While in the hottub I had complained to Kim and Laurie that they weren’t letting me know what was going on behind me. We decided that a code word was needed to let everyone know there was something worth watching going on. We struggled to find this word, after several suggestions were rejected the winning phrase was determined. It was simple and too the point and totally crass, thus perfect for Hedo, "Henry turn the fuck around". Overall though the hottub was pretty tame, either that or I have got jaded. Laurie and Kim did some play by play one nite as a couple of couples started to play with each other, but nothing heavy. Their play by play was more interesting then what was happening.

One of the first nites there we went to the cold water Jacuzzi at nite. The women had to try out the jets. First they tried the gusher in the misting pool, when that wasn’t satisfactory they went to the Jacuzzi where a good time was had by all. I am not sure they named the jets, but they both made some new friends.

Went on the nude cruise for first time in a couple of years and had a great time. We did find a new definition for a vinnie though. That is someone who lights up a joint and then keeps it to himself instead of offering it to people sitting around him. We went to the caves, and I did the water slide and rope swing for first time (wasn’t’ there last time I went). Walked to the top of the caves but didn’t jump. If you ever go up there, you don’t have to walk down the ladder into the caves. Just walk on the road a few feet and take the water slide down. On the way down the slide the lenses popped out of my sunglasses, somehow one of the crewmembers on the cruise boat found them in the water. Laurie won Rasta Ralphs game contest but never got the price she was suppose to get.

Another day went parasailing with Rick and Kim. Cost $70 for tandem flying or $40 for solo. Rick stayed down and took pictures while we went flying. I still have the scars on my side from where Kim dug in, every time the wind would shift the ropes would creak and she would scream. Still was a fun time. We were on the boat with a father and teenage daughter from the Point. I don’t think they much cared for Kim going topless but that was their problem.

Had a great New Years Eve there. We have given up trying to save tables all day. I arrived around 6:00 and snagged a couple of tables on the end near Veronicas. Put two tables together and saved a third. By the end of the nite we had 7 or 8 tables lined up and around 20 people. We just kept on adding tables and people. Dinner was nice. Had couple soups and some large shrimp to start off. Unfortunately they ran out of shrimp early. I had two and went back for more but by then they were gone. They also had plenty of lobster tails. They had a contest for best female, male, couple and gave out 3 free nites to the winners of all the contests and I think 1 free nite to second place. Overall there was great entertainment and an excellent party. Headed out to the hottub later but didn’t stay long due to lack of heat, so we crashed around 2 or so and missed the 3:00 breakfast.

As mentioned above Kim and Rick were down at Hedo to get married. The marriage was set for Wednesday at 5:00 on the point. I was to give away the bride, Laurie was maid of honor, Maurie was to wear the snake (decided not to) and Horatio was the photographer. For those of you who are use to reading the fashion pages, Rick was wearing a pair of shorts with a dress shirt, Kim had a veil and a very light see thru wedding dress, and I was wearing an obscene tie (with their permission). We wait for everyone to show up, finally they are there, Kim finds she has nothing borrowed so the wedding coordinator (Tamara <?>) lends her a bracelet. She then goes out and kicks out the couple enjoying themselves on the point and cleans out the point. We go out there, minister does a great job, they read their own vows and it is over, Kim bows to the crowd on the beach and then gives the crows what they want with a full moon. Lots of pictures later (and locking their keys in the room) we head up to piano bar for the reception. After a few toasts, Laurie looks at the congratulations Rick and Kim on the table and decides to see what other words she can come up with. To the delight of the staff, the guests and the honored guests she comes up with "Eat me Rick", at which point Kim lays down on the table, loses her top raises her skirt and Rick finally gets his cookie.

We then hurry over to the Italian Restaurant for dinner. On the way we notice that there are people in bathing suits in the prude hottub. There are three couples, so Kim goes over and tells them to get out of their suits. One of the ladies wearing a bathing suit bottom and a big top gets upset and leaves the hottub. Eventually a couple of the guys take off their suits, so Kim drops her wedding dress and jumps in, delighting everyone except that one lady. We have a great dinner and are almost kicked out a couple of times when the newly married couple gets a little too amorous for the staff.

Off to Piano bars and some flaming Bobs. This was our second attempt at the Bob. We did a round the nite before and all enjoyed them. For the wedding party though, I think they made us double bobs. Outside we tell Kim that people in TV room want to see her consummate her marriage in there, so off she goes to ask them if that is what they want to see. She comes back and then falls flat on the ground. We decide she is too drunk and prepare to take her back to her room. Rick and myself start carrying her there, we get to the basketball court, she awakens gets loose, drops her dress and starts hopping, skipping and running nakedly to her room. Rick and myself just start laughing as we follow her. We are not sure she knows how to get to the room, we finally catch up to her as she is sprawled naked in the bushes near the H block with her backside sticking up and saying that she caught a tree frog. We get her into her room and so ends the wedding.

Off to the pool we went, Laurie screaming for help and grabbing every chair and person we saw. Everybody turned down her pleas, including the activity co-ordinators. WE carried her thru the dinning room to the pool, where watched by 50 or so people, she got her swim. AFter coming out, she promised that Horatio would go unfulfilled for the next couple of weeks. Another thing we did al week, was plot things to do on the beach. We discussed the idea of a shaving cream parade or 'abduction' from the nude beach almost every day. However there never were enough people on prude beach for an abduction and never got around to the parade. But that is typical for Hedo. With the new Point and pool complex, I notice there is less 'group' activities on the beach. In the past, everyone was crowded around in the same area and lots of activities and foolishness occurred. Now with more room, everyone is spread out and a lot less of these games take place.

Another game that was planned was Kim tearing off Laurie's panties in the hottub with her teeth. They wanted to try and shock and cause some rumors on the hottub. Basically nothing was going to happen but putting on a show for the uninformed watching from the other end of the hottub. Kim asked Horatio if he minded, and to his credit, he hesitated oh 1/10 of a millisecond before he got a big grin and agreed. However Kim's tree frog experience on her wedding nite, did not allow this event to take place. On our last day we considered trying again. AT dinner Laurie decided she needed more wine to partake in this game, when we explained the reason for more wine to the busboy at dinner, the look on his face was priceless. Needless to say, he got us the wine in record time. Unfortunately, like lots of other plans, this game never occurred either.

One-day people decided to try the paddleboat, why I don’t know since it sounded like too much work, but off they went. When last seen they were paddling around and around in circles and nobody could figure out why. It turned out that someone (Kim I promised you I wouldn’t say it was you) put their drink in the rudder hole (?) and there was nothing steering the boat.
