Elizabeth - August & November, 2003
My trip report is not about all the "things" we
did - before we went the first time, I admit I did read the trip reports on
DennyP for that:), but....Hedo is not about "that" - I get "that" at home.
Before my first trip to Hedo I had no idea how to live life. Hedo taught
me a lot. I thought my report should include that stuff.
We went to Hedo for the first time in August.
I was terrified to go, but couldn't live with myself without trying at least
once. What I discovered about Hedo is that people are wonderful.
They say you make friends that you will keep in touch with forever. I
have plenty of friends so this theory didn't appeal to me. I wasn't sure
I wanted to keep in touch with anyone I met there - but once I was there I
realized the people who go to Hedo are the nicest, kindest most caring people
you will ever meet.
The thought of a lot of people who don't go to
Hedo is that the people who do go are sinful and wicked. They may
be:) I know I am:), but they are also the people who would stop and help
anyone in need, who would sit at talk to anyone who needed an ear forever -
they are the people who work to keep this country running - they are
wonderful! I will also admit that before going to Hedo I fell in the
trap of judging people by the way they look - it is just not like that at
Hedo. You learn to live life and accept people for who they are - not
what you think they are.
After going in August I came back a new sexy
momma! I got my boobs done (HALLELUJAH!), I threw out all my old loose
fitting clothes from the 80's, I changed my hair, I started working out, I
only wear 3" heels - even to tennis:). I laugh all the time! I
have fun all the time. I am changed. You only live life once, I
was living it in a boring and judgmental world - now I don't and never will
again.
So...we just got back from our second trip last
night:(. I miss my friends already. We plan to go very often -
every three months if possible.
Sorry my trip report wasn't about the plane ride,
the bus ride, the check in, the food, the sun/rain - that stuff doesn't matter
- I will get there, I will check in, I will eat - so why worry if that stuff
met my expectations (which by the way it does - but I am not too picky).
That is not the things you end up remembering or go back for. You go
back to blow off steam, to make friends and have the time of your life.
So...to all my friends - see ya' soon, and thanks for changing me in to who I
really was!
Love,
