Hedo III Trip Report for Oct 26 through Nov 3
AIRPLANE FLIGHT TO JAMAICA
Being a really tall guy with a really short wife is handy when traveling on Air Jamaica. I took up all of her leg room on the Los Angeles to Montego Bay Flight AJ flight, but what the heck it was a red eye, and I was sitting next to my baby wife, so it was great
TRANSPORTATION TO HEDO III
We jumped into a van with an older female couple and hauled ass, and I mean HAULED ASS, from the airport to the resort. It was like Mr Toad’s Wild Ride at Disneyland. I am an experienced world traveler and I have had this kind of road transportation experience before, but it was in Vietnam in 1975 and the commies were taking over and I was busting it trying to get to a helicopter at the American Embassy to freedom! What a rush.
CHECK IN
It was about 9:30 AM and the desk was not very busy. Our new Wild Bunch friends, Chuck and Marci met us in the Lobby and helped us calm down and get situated. Our room wasn’t ready yet (and wouldn’t be for hours), but they led us to Wild Walt’s palatial room right next to the nude pool to drop off our carryons and change into something more comfortable (which was no clothes at all!). And the party started.
THE HEDO III CYCLE
Here is the way out days went at Hedo III… We get up in the morning at 10:30 AM, take showers in front of an open window in our bathroom in front of everyone at the nude pool. We had a third floor room overlooking the nude pool thanks to Mr Wild Walt. After Sarah spent about an hour making herself more beautiful than she already is, we go down to the main dining room and get some breakfast which is really lunch and see if any other Wild Bunchers are there (look for the people making noise). We hang around to see if there is entertainment, and then we go back to the nude pool. We take off all of our clothes and start drinking and talking to our friends. We play nude volleyball, trivial pursuit, and hide the salami (Walt and Robyn made liberal use of the whistle!). We hang out all day at the pool and/or nude beach with the other Wild Bunchers talking, playing games, and listening to Dr Chuck’s medical stories (he is a Doctor and has seen everything). We snack at the grill at the bar in between getting totally blitzed at the bar (Sarah did some great nude dancing on the nude pool bar stools!). Around the time the sun goes down, everyone piles into the hot tub and Robyn takes over the Truth or Dare activity. Why is it that every time someone said “Truth”, Robyn says Dare? Needless to say, we saw and participated in a lot of naked fun in that hot tub. Around 7 ish, we go back to the room and get ready for the theme night with dressing up and makeup and stuff. We meet our Wild Bunch friends at the main dining room and all sit at the same table and eat, and watch the floor show for that night. Afterwards, we go to the Piano Bar and sing the less appropriate versions of many popular songs. At 10 PM we go to the disco to dance our asses off until around 1:30 AM. Then the real fun starts… The Nude WaterSlide runs begin in earnest. Twelve people sliding down buck naked, and totally drunk, in a nude waterslide that has a 3 story drop to a pool. We are screaming and yelling all the way down, and we do this about ten times until we are so dizzy and messed up that we need to go rest in the hot tub at the nude pool. We go to the hot tub at the nude pool, where the bar is open of course, and party with our friends till the sun comes up. We go to bed at 5:30 or 6AM. And then we start the whole cycle again the next day.
SPORTS ACTIVITIES
I am a SCUBA instructor and have dived all over the world, and I can testify that the diving operation at Hedo III is first class with good equipment and a competent staff. The diving was OK, not spectacular like Maracaibo Reef at Cozumel, but very nice and relaxing. You don’t go to Hedo to just SCUBA dive, you go to have a good time in general, and this resort shows you a good time everywhere you go.
WILD BUNCH
Sarah and I had never traveled with a group anywhere before, and I have to attest to the fact that the Wild Bunch people are excellent travel companions. We had a blast with them. Wild Walt is a nut. He was seen dragging an inflatable doll around the nude wool with a whip and a dog collar. Haywood was seen hitting on every good looking female at Hedo III, but thank God his twin brother Chuck kept him in line. Troy and Holly, Brandi Kathleen and Todd, Bob and the now departed Jae, Doug and Shelly, big JD and Chrissy were all awesome people to party with. Anna and her “lube jobs” in the pool! We had a nude beach sexathon thing going on that last Saturday that was an event to remember. A major PDA was taking place on the pier by some couple from NJ putting on a show, and we all laid back on the recliners on the beach, drank cocktails, and enjoyed the show (over and over again). Sex police? We never witnessed any “enforcement”… there are safety in numbers, folks. We even had encounters while eating a most wonderful dinner in the Japanese Restaurant. When Sarah and Holly asked the restaurant manager if she was embarrassing any other patrons, the manager said “if they say anything, tell them F**K YOU!”.
ROOM ACCOMODATIONS
I travel two weeks a month all over the US on business. I stay at the best hotels when I travel. Hedo III is in that league. Remote control climate control, Playboy Channel (like you need it with all the PDA’s going on), Jacuzzi tub, excellent housekeeping staff and overall great condition of the rooms make the stay a first class experience. Also, thanks to great room placement on the third floor over the nude pool, we were able to load up about 200 water balloons and rain them down on anyone walking to the nude pool with clothes on. We also had a huge water fight using our super soakers (thanks JD!!!!!). Except for poor Rueben falling on his butt while he was chasing a naked Sarah shooting her water bazooka on the first floor, there were no casualties.
WRAPUP
We had an awesome time at an awesome resort. Are we going to Hedonism III again? Hell yeah! See you guys in October 2003! Go Wild Bunch!
Jim and Sarah
