Bob & Fran - 04/99

FLIGHTS a.. We decided not to bother to prebook our flight to Negril since we were not traveling on the weekend. It wouldn't have made any difference if we had except that it would have cost us more money. We arrived on the first day of the Civil Unrest and by the time we arrived in MBJ Superclubs was flying EVERYONE out (at their expense) and no longer sending buses. We did, however, have to wait an hour and a half for a plane and then leave our luggage behind to follow by cargo plane. The pilot we had, on TimAir, was fabulous and we were fortunate enough to get him on our return flight as well! Those who arrived on flights ahead of us had very scary bus trips and some horror stories were told upon their arrival. Perhaps one of those individuals will report. I will not share any of the stories as they would only be hear say and I am not sure of how much of the truth got stretched.

CHECK-IN a.. What's new, not only were the rooms not ready but room category was unavailable. We got put in Garden View Nude for 2 days after paying for Ocean View Nude. We did decide though that in the future we will stay in Garden View as it was much quieter when we chose to sleep. Twin beds will have to go though!! Many people were put up at Grand Lido and the Point and one person even said they got put at Negril Beach Club which is some distance away. Those who stayed at Lido said the rooms were really a cut above but the crowd was DULL, DULL, DULL over there.

SEX POLICE a.. Non-existent unless your names are Bob and Fran!! Seriously though, no sex police during the day. We saw nearly anything and everything during the day. They don't seem to patrol then assuming exhibitionist only come out at night. Bob did have quite a discussion with one of the security guards and he commented that you can do whatever you want as long as it isn't in the hottub or pool. The surrounding area is open...as long as you are in a nude area.

FOOD a.. I will only say that one night we pulled in a favor and went to Grand Lido for dinner and it was terrific!! We ate at Cafe Lido where everyone was quiet and we felt we had to whisper while in there. 6 of us went and promised to behave till we atleast got to eat before getting kicked out. We ended up laughing and carrying on and I think the wait staff had the best time ever.

BUTT-CRACK TOUR a.. We had a big crew and it was lots of fun. Most folks at Sandals enjoyed the parade and the fun while one actually hid her face in her towel. Others looked on in disgust. We went nude across the Hedo prude beach, hey, if they can come on our beach with clothes on then we can go on theirs with none. We even got a couple of flashers there. b.. This is a great group of people who try to have fun with and encourage prudes to get nude. Not everyone takes it in the frame of mind that it is meant to be taken. Many people got into the groove and joined the Butt Crackers in there quest for nudity. Many individuals who were encouraged to get nude did and were rewarded by huge rounds of applause by nearly the entire beach and even floaters. Thanks to all those who made it fun. I am a member of this group but do not join them in the clacking and whistles. For those of you who got upset over this I can just say what a shame you could not have taken it in stride and made friends with these individuals. You would have found some really interesting, friendly people.

GENERAL a.. No one asked out right for a tip. b.. Water pressure was great but we still had hot or freezing...at any given moment. c.. It rain hard in the afternoon on 2 out of 8 days.

HIGHLIGHTS a.. Made tons of new friends at the start of the week and Bob called me the social director. I was amazed at how many names I could actually remember. By the middle of the week, however, I was starting to get brain dead and my social skills started to seriously deplete. Names and faces all started to blend together. I apologize to anyone I might have "overlooked". b.. New Hedo Game...women playing chess with no hands and no panties out in front of the piano bar. This got to be a nightly event until we attracted too big a crowd and didn't want to be prude entertainment. c.. Went to Moon Hill on a couple of occassions to moon first timers. One Hedo Virgin one-uped us. As the van approached Moon Hill she opened the window, put her top half out of the window, opened her dress (no bra) and yelled "show us your tits". We laughed so hard and knew she was now a true graduate!! d.. TV Room...great late night comfort spot. Took us 3 times but we finally got it right! e.. Panty Check at the Piano Bar...one of the best yet. My partners in crime and I were actually able to get people to remove panties or boxers they had worn. We had the whole piano bar in stitches...until securtiy came in and broke it up. f.. Toga night spectacular...Liz gets the treatment in the paino bar by her "sex slaves". Having her temples massaged, being fanned with a giant leaf and having Bailey's sucked off her toes. She curled up her nose at the thought but once it started she was lost!! A look of pure ecstasy!! g.. Meeting Karen, Heather, Amber and Shasha...she was a great lady!! Mutiple fun!! h.. Judy's awesome foot massage!! Many people got this treat...myself included. As it lightly rained, lounging on a beach chair...aaaaaahhhhhhh.

OTHER a.. Bob and I seem to draw trouble. We got spoken to by security on 4 or 5 occassions. Naughty, Naughty!! Do we get extra Hedo points for this?????

SPECIAL THANKS a.. Jeannie for the guardian angel...if you only knew how much it has helped me since I got home!! b.. Bill and Val...for being fun and adventurous. c.. Maureen and Gil...for hours of fun and laughter..."bad girls, bad girls". d.. All my fellow chess players. e.. Buttcrack Tours f.. And of course, all the many new friends we made.
