December 10-17^th (our first trip to Hedo III)

Pat & Tammy (Western Canada) 

I promised myself before we left on our trip that I would write a trip report upon our return.  I know how valuable reading other reports was to us.  In fact, we likely wouldn’t have gone to Hedo at all if we didn’t have this forum to address our questions and concerns (thanks to all of you and especially to Denny!).  This is also why we decided to book our trip through Denny, which by the way was very well organized.   

Our flight left at 12:30 am, out of Edmonton and flew direct to Toronto.  Three and a half hours later we landed in Toronto only to wait another four hours before our flight departed to Montego Bay.  I, as always, had no problem dosing off in the airport while Pat watched some of the overhead TV.  All of a sudden a guy approaches us (who was also on our flight from Edmonton) and makes the usual small talk then asks where we were headed.  We tell him Hedo III and he says “I knew it!”   Okay, so now I’m a little freaked out!  Do Hedonites have a certain look?  Anyway, after we tell him where we’re going he then tells us that he and his wife are going to Hedo II…what are the chances?  We chatted with them for the duration of our layover, which really helped to pass the time.  We soon wished we were both going to the same resort as they seemed like a great couple. We exchanged addresses and promised to get together after we got back to exchange stories/pictures.   

After a delayed takeoff and another 4 ½ hour flight, we finally arrived in Montego Bay at 3:30 pm. We then headed straight to the Superclubs lounge which wasn’t hard to find.  Once there we waited (are you starting to see a pattern?) another 30 minutes then headed outside to the bus.   I stopped to get two Red Stripes for the road…after all we’re FINALLY here after 15+ hours of air travel and waiting in airports!  After waiting another 20 minutes or so, we’re finally off.  We stopped half way for another Red Stripe then continued on, finally arriving at the resort around 6:00 pm.  I didn’t find the drive to the resort too scary, just long. 

As we’re walking to the front desk to check in, the first people we see are two couples from our Yahoo Group – Robert & Angela and Curt & Rumi.  We exchange hugs and are immediately handed a drink…not sure what it was, but it was mighty tasty!  We grabbed another drink and they escorted us on a tour through the resort to help us get our bearings (however purposely avoiding the nude hot tub area after R&A’s experience the night before – thanks guys!)  Somewhere along the way we stopped in to check out our room.  It was on the 3^rd floor in the quad area directly above the hot tub.  It was just fine. The next thing I remember was dancing in the cage at the disco…hmm, not sure what we did for dinner, or, if we even had dinner.  Anyway, it was a lot of fun dancing and we managed to meet many more people from our group throughout the evening, who unfortunately, would be leaving the next day.  We did eventually end up at the nude hot tub after the disco and the funny thing is I was surprised at how easy I shed (OK, ripped off) my clothes.  Listen people, IT REALLY IS NO BIG DEAL!  And I had never been nude in public before.   A GREAT first night with our new friends!   We called it a night around 4ish. 

I’m not going to continue with a day by day journal but I will provide you with some highlights/lowlights of our one-week stay at Hedo 3: 

Highlights 

• Spending time with my hubby.  Rekindling the spark, only to start a raging fire… “Baby, you Da Mon!” 
• Meeting so many people on-line before the trip.  And being greeted upon arrival in the lobby by some of these new friends was truly a great feeling!
• The Diving.  I’m a novice diver but I was pleasantly surprised at how healthy the reef was and how professional and accommodating the dive staff was.
• Being Nude. Okay so I really liked it.
• The trapeze.  Even though this scared the shit out of me, it was an amazing experience that I will NEVER forget.  The circus staff were all very professional yet fun.  I still can’t get over the size of Jay’s (get your minds out of the gutter people) quads.
• Meeting Playboy porn stars Juli Ashton and Evan Stone.  They are both great people who were very approachable and friendly…admittedly not what we were expecting from some Los Angeles types (no offense intended to anyone from LA).  I think Evan really had a hard time keeping his pants on, though!

Lowlights 

• The lengthy flights and layovers in the airports.  But hard to avoid regardless of where one travels, so “Whatever… that’s cool”.
• Pat falling into the pool.  He thought he had a few scrapes and bruises, only to find out three days later that he could barely walk.  He got a major infection that the resort nurse couldn’t do anything about.  They had to call in a Doctor from off the resort, and Pat had to get a shot in the ass and take antibiotics.  Not to worry though, after being home 5 days the wounds are healing and he only has a lingering ache in his knee.  All this for being his usual considerate self and bringing someone a cocktail (which by the way he managed to save even though he was fully submerged under water)…you’re welcome Fred!
• The beach.  This wasn’t a real big deal either because we weren’t expecting much.
• The temperature of the Quad hot tub.  Rarely was it ever a comfortable temperature to spend time in… either too cold or way too hot.
• The occupancy of the resort.  I think if there was a higher occupancy there may have been more scheduled activities by the entertainment staff.  At times I felt like they too were on vacation.  Again, it wasn’t a real concern as we created our own fun. 
• Not having our time overlap with more of our Yahoo group friends.  Maybe next time we can coordinate dates better.
• The smell from all of the bars was really bad.  They all need a thorough scrub down with bleach.

Funny/Interesting Observations 

• A girl rushing into to the washroom, hiking up her dress, tilting her pelvis in front of the mirror and re-screwing the ball of her clit piercing!  I still can’t figure out how she actually found it after it came off!
• Giving Pat a body shot only to look up and see a ‘clothed’ Larry staring right at me!  No worries though, 5 minutes later he too was naked and in the hot tub!
• The mirror above the bed.  It distorted our bodies in some really bizarre ways!
• Robert REALLY liking the nude thing…hey I think we all did, but if given the option I’m sure Robert would have never put his clothes on for the entire week – you go mon!
• The last few days I managed to put my foot in my mouth several times…thanks to Dan and Kim for always being there to point it out.  It’s all good.
• Watching a couple of the porn stars going at it in the hot tub by the disco and me saying to no one in particular; ‘I feel like a pervert’.  Then this guy tells me that’s good, that’s exactly how you’re supposed to feel, it’s the ‘right’ emotion.  I’m still not sure how to take that… is feeling like a pervert an emotion?  I must have had too many cocktails. 
• The English girl on the stilts…wow, her costumes were amazing!
• Me, being able to remember names.  This was quite uncharacteristic of me, yet while at Hedo, I adopted this uncanny memory for names.  I wonder how long it will last?

Our New Friends 

• Kevin & Christine – you guys were a blast!  I’m sorry we didn’t get to spend more time with you.  Christine, I think we could have gotten into a whole lot of trouble together.  ;o)
• Curt & Rumi – you were both wonderful!  Again, wish we would have had more time together!  And Curt…thanks again for arranging to get us some Playboy swag – who knew you had so many connections? You’re awesome!
• Nathan & Cristina – We didn’t have much time to get to know you guys, but it was sure nice having dinner with you at Munasan.  And thank you, thank you, once again for establishing the Yahoo group!
• Lori & Glen – Glen, my dive buddy, congrats again on your certification.  It was sure nice being able to share our diving experiences. Lori, sweet Lori, you were always so cheerful and such a pleasure to be around!
• Mark & Beth – We were always looking forward to seeing what Beth would be wearing to dinner and then to the disco – girl, you are definitely a hottie!  Mark, thanks for introducing us to the dice game… our favorite dice game is very different, and somehow all of a sudden, very boring.  ;o)
• Dan & Kim – Dan, your witty sense of humor (land shark attack!) was just great.  And Kim, you were always bubbly and smiling no matter what the situation – you have a great outlook on life.  You guys are 2 KEWL !
• Amber & Bill – Amber, you are one persistent girl, not to mention damn hot!  Thanks for always putting a smile on my face (and no, you didn’t scare me!).  Bill, thanks for all the great hot tub conversations (yes, some people DO talk in the hot tub!) and just being an all-around nice guy.
• Larry & Cathy – It was great meeting you both… but we sure wish you had arrived earlier and been able to spend more time with the group!  Larry, you are truly an inspiration - keep writing, and when you’re rich & famous, don’t forget us!  Cathy, it was fun dancing and partying with you!  I’m still amazed you were as loaded as you were…you could have fooled me.  Then again, maybe I was just as loaded!  I hope you both enjoyed the rest of your vacation.
• Ellie & Jamie – Although we only had one evening and half the next day with you, we were both truly sad to see you go.  We really hit it off and sure hope the next time you make it back to Western Canada you look us up!
• Bonnie & Jim (aka Santa Claus) – our next door neighbors at the resort… you are such a fun-loving couple, who have an awesome attitude.  But Jim, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to look at Santa quite the same again!
• Stephanie & Doug – It was great fun spending some time and playing pool volleyball with you guys.  Steph, you’re quite the fireball - thanks for your support on the Trapeze.  You really know how to inspire!
• Jay & Dr. Lynn (CW) – It was so fun meeting and spending time with you guys, too.  I’ll always remember you two as being the first to set a record on the Aqua Rocker -- three couples, very impressive!  Maybe one day it’ll become an Olympic event and you guys will bring home the Gold! And Jay, if we ever see you WITHOUT a big smile on your face, we know the world is coming to an end… you are one happy guy!

And last, but far, far from least…

• Robert (Pat’s Dreadlock Brother) and Angela – what more can we say that hasn’t already been said either in emails or face-to-face…. you know how we feel about you two.  We have no doubts that we will stay in touch with you for a long, long time.  On behalf of the Yahoo Group, thank you both for everything you did to inspire and solidify the group prior to everyones vacations.

Thanks to everyone for helping make our first visit to Hedo a huge success – we had a great time!  We likely won’t return to Hedo any time soon (mostly due to flight distance and the fact that there are so many others places to go) but we’d love to keep in touch with as many of you as possible.  Feel free to e-mail us anytime at: lyfsabeechinhedo@yahoo.com  

Happy Holidays to you all! 

Hugs,

Pat & Tammy
