Jim & Joyce - December, 2002

It’s been 23 days since Jim and I returned from our third trip to HedoIII, and I’m already thinking about going back, or more specifically wishing we were still there!  We met our friends Michael and MaryLynn from Houston there.  We had met them on our first trip two years ago, and returned last year with them for an encore.  We’ve become great friends and can’t seem to venture to Hedo without them….just wouldn’t be the same!

A lot of people report on their trip through the airport, security, the plane and bus ride.  The airport saga and the plane trip mean nothing to us.  Whether it was a good or bad experience doesn’t matter, because once we pull up to III, it’s all in the past.  As soon as we saw the sign at the end of the road announcing the arrival to Hedonism III, I looked at Jim and said, “We’re home!”   Then pulling around to the “guard shack” I announced “Drop the chain, I’m home!”  Some of the others on the bus looked at Jim and I and kind of smiled, not exactly sure what we were talking about.  You only know that feeling after you’ve been, gone, and returned!

We returned this year a week earlier than we’d been the previous two years.  The resort was much more crowded, but not too. A group, the Sinners and Saints were there, and the majority left the day we arrived or the following day, so the crowd thinned a little.  But Sheila and Duane, the group’s leaders hung in another week!  They made us honorary members and tattooed us with the Sinners and Saints Hedo tattoo.

The entertainment staff had changed almost completely.  However the two die-hards, and my personal favorites Romeo and Teddy Bear were still there.  You have got to love Romeo’s devilish look, hard frigin’ body and awesome personality!  And Teddy Bear, damn what a rock, and so personable.  I got a personal dance one night from Romeo in the disco and we were both all fired up at the end of it!  Even though we missed seeing Lacey, Exotica and Fantasy, Bootylicious is back! The new girls (Luanne and Trina) were fun even though they were just starting out.  A few new entertainment guys are there (Martin, oh yeah! and Lust) should prove to be just fine once they get their feet wet a little more!  I attempted to help Martin with that in the disco one night…dirty dancing.  He was very willing to dance with me, and other parts were very receptive to the dance as well!

AnneMarie, previously tended bar on the nude side but is up at the main bar…..that didn’t stop MaryLynn and I from venturing up there during the day, minus clothes to say hello.  She promptly covered MaryLynn with a towel as she climbed over the bar to greet her!  David Ewon, the restaurant manager is absolutely incredible.  He made sure we had everything we needed at every point of our trip.  They don’t come better than David.  Nola, the restaurant supervisor also ensured our every want was fulfilled. Both provided special surprises for mine and MaryLynn’s birthdays.

Once again we met some really great people and had awesome conversations. Rico and Michelle, Steven and Reiko, Roger and Kristen, Kathy and Roger, The Chad and Andrea, Duanne and Sheila, Kathy and Joe and many more. Two other couples were there that we had met last year, Vicky and Steve and Bill and Colleen. It was great to see them, and “catch up”.  It all started with Rico and Michelle, Steve and Reiko on the bus from the airport.  When Rico found out that we’d been to Hedo twice, he began referring to us as “war torn veterans” and decided he’d follow our lead.  The first night he failed to heed the advice of the veterans when we told him to “take it easy”.  He promptly got “shit faced” and then announced the next morning that “this is a marathon not a sprint, I need to pace myself!”  Reiko was the sweetest little honey from Tokyo and I got the pleasure of being her English teacher, much to Steven’s dismay at times because of the phrases I taught her!  Roger and Kristen were fellow Iowans like Jim, so they immediately clicked! MaryLynn and I welcomed Kristen in true Hedo form. I chose Andrea and Reiko to lick chocolate off of me during the “talent” portion of the wet T-shirt contest.  At the end Reiko exclaimed “I like a chocolate, very sweet!”

There was body painting and a wet T-shirt contest this year; unlike in years past when we’ve been there.  Romeo has the softest brush on the island! He painted at least 20 woman in just a few hours, each one so very different, but equally artistic and beautiful.  The wet T-shirt contest was fun, being an exhibitionist every once in a while is good for a person!

There was a lot more open sexual activity than we’ve seen in the past.  It was kind of nice to look up every once in a while and enjoy the scenery.  Also a lot more open ganga smoking.

The nude side did a “quad take-over” one afternoon.  MaryLynn showed everyone her special hands-free technique of applying suntan lotion. Several of the entertainment gentlemen were recipients of her technique on the pussy fountain. 

Food was great, staff was great, and weather was perfect. As in years past, it was a fabulous vacation. You gotta love Hedo……….no pressure, no problem, mon!
