Rod & Mary - January, 2004

Trip Report for Hedo 3 (fourth trip)
Travel dates Jan 19-29, 2004

      We traveled with Ritch and Sandy(MN) who were also on their 4th trip. We met each other on ourvirgin trips to Hedo and have kept in contact. We flew into MoBay on an AirJamaica flight at 11:00a.m. There was a new entrance wing to take you to the immigration and customs area. They also are updating the exit area to the buspickups. The Apple rep was waiting for us and gave us our pre-registrationforms for Hedo.
       After one brief red strip stop we were at the resort at 1:30 and greeted with a big hug and kiss from Petrina at the front desk.  She was an EC last year and remembered us.  We handed them our pre-registration, our room was ready, dumped the luggage and got to the nude beach by 2:00. The resort was 100% full.  We heard reports of overbooking and talked with some people that had to go to Breezes for 1-2 days until they could get to Hedo.
            It was good to see Suzette at the nude bar! (She says hello to Sharon and Roger GA) We were greeted by James, (who Mary dubbed “The Mayor”) and the first lady Gina. It didn’t take long and we were doing body shots and meeting people the “Hedo”way!  Sam & Angelika were great new friends to meet at the Pussy fountain. EC Destiny came by and remembered the“Dirty Banana’s” from last year and us. (She asked about you Tracy from MN andJen from Canada) By six Mary had too many purple rains and needed assistance toher room.  A quick worship, nap, and acan of red bull, she was back in tune. 
            We went to the piano bar and saw “GlenKin” who is a great entertainer!  Mary got to sing “The Rose”. Something new for the piano bar is 1 hour at 8:30, and then regular session at 10:30.  Glen has his own CD now that you canpurchase.
            On Tuesday,Rod got a cohort in crime named Jerry(NC). They were constantly stirring up something to do.  They made great entertainment.  (How many times did Ruth and I have to shake our heads?) Our favorite night at Hedo is “P.J.” night and it was a blast.  Ritch and Sandy and Rod and I won in different categories. It was a long, fun night!
            Romeo, Sly,TeddyBear, Destiny, Ebony, Sweetness, Ice are still there.  Spike is new to us, and puts on a great  show. There were 3 new EC’s that we never did get to meet.
            Since this was a 10-day trip, the days are not easy to distinguish.  We will just hit on some items that made the trip memorable. The weather was the best we ever had in our four years.  One afternoon of clouds and light drizzle that gave way to a beautiful sunset and starry night. (The best view of the stars is on the pier, and we found that those one-person pool floaty’s make good lounge cushions-saves the back if you know what I mean)
            Sandy had a mishap on the last full day and ended up with a broken bone in her foot.  Ritch said it happened during kinky sex, but I know the real story.(watch those steps at the beach restroom). Thankfully it was at the end of the trip! Being in a wheelchair at Hedo has lots of inconviences. Getting through the airport was a breeze though.
            Sandy &Mary both got tanzanite rings from the jewelers at Hedo. FABULOUS fluffing material! Made that ankle feel better!

We checked in our luggage at the resort at 10:45a.m on Thursday and had until 5:00p.m. Until we left the resort.We do like flying on Air Jamaica for that reason, and using Apple vacations for the rest.  Apple guests get a "little something" left in their room each night, and this year they took a group of us to Ochio Rios for dinner one night. LeeJay, Petrina and Spike treated us so well!
Of course people make the biggestdifference.
