Trip Report: April 14 - 19, 2002
This was our virgin trip to Hedo 3. We celebrated our twentieth anniversary
while on this trip. Having been back a few weeks we're just now getting over
the feelings of "Hedo Withdrawal". We still wake up and say, "If we were at
Hedo we would be doing ......". After a lot of discussion about our inhibitions
it sounded like fun. We read all the trip reports and message boards before
going but there is nothing like being there.
Travel:
The travel out of Oklahoma City was uneventful and we never got stopped by
customs or security. Never once were we approached by anyone at the airport to
purchase ganja. The van ride to the resort was exciting as the driver
explained, "We share the road. No problem mon". At times, their two lane road
became a three lane road. We were nearly sideswiped as we stopped for Red
Stripe and Ting but the driver did a great job avoiding the accident. We finally
arrived and looked forward to a good time.
The Resort:
First, let us give a big round of applause to the entertainment staff. They
put in a lot of hours and effort making our stay enjoyable. Crazy Sean and
Romeo are the greatest. Ms. Lacy and Bootylicious absolutely rock. Ms.
Antonette at the front desk can take care of anything. Casper in Munahana's was
super. The very best bar service can be found when you meet Sunshine at the
quad pool bar. Please remember to always be kind to the resort staff.
Check-in was about 10 minutes and we were off to our room to drop bags and take
a tour. We walked around to get a feel for the people and check out the place.
We eventually made our way through the prude side to the nude side. We grinned
a lot walking through thinking, "Oh, my God. I could never do this". Oddly, we
found ourselves feeling out of place because we had clothes on. Everyone seemed
to be having a great time. We wandered back over to the Scotch Bonnet for some
famous jerk chicken. It is as good as everyone says.
While we were there we recognized Chris and Dianne from a picture they emailed.
Sure was great meeting you two. Thank you for the CD you burned us. You guys
are great. Meeting people we emailed before we went made things enjoyable.
Thank you Denny for your hard work. We know we're going to leave someone out but
would like to say how great it was meeting Bobby & Lynn (see you in Atlanta late
summer), Troy & Serena (thank you for the pictures), Brian & Lisa, Greg &
Malyssa, Greg & Karen, Craig & Laurie, Daryl & Ashley, Steve and all the single
guys (who were perfect gentlemen).
Body painting was awesome. The theme nights were a blast. The pajama party
really got going in the disco about 11:30. My satin leopard boxers seemed to be
in style and a big hit with Pam. She wore a two piece lace set that was hot.
She looked incredible. Everybody looked great. There was a contest for the
sexiest outfits. We didn't win : ( but danced a lot until we couldn't dance
anymore. A little romantic time out on the nude pier under the stars was just
what the doctor ordered. Toga night was a mix of some great looking togas and
some ugly togas which they had a contest for both. In Hedo style, underwear is
not allowed under the toga. The contests were fun. Pam was on stage and Romeo
"thought" he heard panties under her toga. Again, in Hedo style she had to
prove him wrong. The Naughty Beach Party was fun. We laughed so hard at Greg
when a woman jumped on him. Greg - you know what we're talking about.
The food was excellent. Try the restaurants as well as the main dining area.
The main dining area is buffet. They served food all hours of the day
somewhere in the resort. Midnight buffet from twelve to three a.m. is great
after the disco, pier or gazebo action. That's another story.
The Nude Thing:
We don't typically mingle a lot on vacation with strangers. Somehow, these
strangers at Hedo seemed more like old friends. We met a lot of great people.
Funny thing about meeting a stranger in the buff is that it breaks down all
social and economic barriers. It is amazing. Getting back to our inhibitions
of getting naked out in public, we started out slowly at the quad pool. It
became a dare to remove one piece of our bathing suit. Obviously, that left
Darrel naked and me topless. It was strange at first. The next day we stayed
at the quad pool. Finally, we mustered the courage to go over to the nude side
and down to the beach we went. It wasn't nearly as crowded. We took a deep
breath and off came the clothes. We looked around only to notice that nobody
really cared. There are people of all different sizes and colors. It has been
said in trip reports that the true test comes when you walk across the pool area
to the nude bar. No kidding.
We both swallowed hard the first trip only to have someone compliment Darrel's
butt. Try the nude pool if your comfortable. When in Rome .......
Overall:
We will return again. The trip was excellent. Of course, we will book the trip
through Denny's Travel. Feel free to contact us at:
