Trip Report 5-16-2000 From Jim and Shawna


WOW.......we got to the airport in Montego Bay and was taken by Superclubs on the adventurous ride to Hedonism III. It wasn't as bad as everybody says, it was fine for us. Before we got under way the driver stopped and got us all Red Stripe Beers which was great since it was so hot. We also stopped half way there and got more at this little market. We were under way shortly and soon made it to the entrance of HEDO III. We were greeted at the front desk by two from our group, Walter and Cheryl Cade. They were sprawled on the couch with big grins. That started it all!!!! We found out that Walter had moved our room to join his and most of the group on the nude side. We were moved to building 6, ocean view, and boy did it have a view. It faced and overlooked the nude pool and beach so you can imagine the view. They didn't have our room right away so we stowed our stuff in Walter and Cheryl's room and then proceeded with clothes on thru the nude pool area trying not to stare too much :) We met a couple more from our group on the way to the Scotch Bonnet for lunch. We all joined there and had our first Jerk Chicken and dirty banana. The jerk chicken was so spicy hot I could hardly eat it, but then again it was so good you couldn't stop. You just kept drinking a lot of dirty banana to keep your mouth cooled off. Our first hour in HEDO was enough to complete the vacation all together and we still had the rest of the week.

After about an hour Michelle from Sales came up to us in the Scotch Bonnet and brought us our room keys and walked us to our room and had a bellman go get our bags from Walter and Cheryl's room and bring it to ours. The room was beautiful. It's brand new and very nice. The bed had a very comfortable pillow top mattress for when we layed down for a few minutes a day. The bathroom was very nice with it's jacuzzi tub that I didn't get to use while there but wanted to badly. There was two nice windows in our room that opened up on the nude area. We would leave them open during the day for the great view and nice breeze. (not that we were in there at all to enjoy it) The air conditioner was very affective with a remote control on the wall by the bed.

We finally made our way nervously to the nude pool area that night and everybody was around the jacuzzi. We were very nervous having not gone nude before. We stripped and jumped in the jacuzzi and settled down among all of our new friends. The jacuzzi's temperature was perfect and the pool was great also. I just went back and forth to get drinks and swim around. The first night we started out with a great bartender named KP. Very friendly and offered anything you would need to make your vacation perfect. We found out soon that all the different bartenders have their specialty drink and I tried them all I think. They are all great. Just tell them you want their specialty and they will give you their big Jamaican smile and say, "sure, my pretty lady". Their accents and their way just made me melt. :)

The second day I did the snorkeling cruise with the "Captain" (didn't get his name) and "Tex" (Tex called him captain). He took us down the beach a ways to find a good snorkeling site. He found an awesome one. There was about 4 couples and we all got to snorkel for about 30 min. When we drove back the "Captain" told us about the area and the shopping sites and resorts along the way. By the time we got back it took about an hour total. Very worth it if you like to snorkel.

I wanted to dive while down there but wasn't certified and thought that they charged too much and made you stay in class too long to do that. Didn't want to waste a minute while I was down there. They need to come up with a quick cert like they do in Hawaii where you take a quick 30 min test and then just dive along next to the dive master. No certification involved but you get to go diving without the hassle or cost.

Afterwards we went to the Scotch Bonnet for lunch again and had cheeseburgers and what was funny was they were hot too.....they had a little jerk chicken sauce on them. They were good.

That night we all congregated to the main dining room and our group took a lot of the tables and put them together by the stage and enjoyed dinner and the show the resort dancers put on. Afterwards we all went to our rooms and dressed in our PJ's for the club that night. What a night. Everybody wore sexy PJ's...some didn't wear much more than a leather strap. It was great. We had a great night of dirty dancing.

Wednesday was filled with leisure. Me and Jim went out snorkeling again. We then played nude pool volleyball and ate a great lunch at the swim up nude pool bar. It's fun to swim up, order your lunch and drink and sit in the water and enjoy your lunch never having to get out. After lunch we cleaned up and took the Shopping Tour HEDO had to offer to Ocho Rios for $15.00. They took us for 3 hours to Ocho Rios to this crafts shopping place. It was about a couple hundred little huts all crammed into this lot and you walk around bargaining for everything. We got excellent prices on everything. T-shirts were less than half the price. All the wooden carved animals that they sell are all there and you can talk them down on the price. We got a 2 foot giraffe for like $15.00 and on the resort their like $60.00. You can also buy a lot of the bracelets that they make there. They also have a Hard Rock Cafe Outlet there that you can get those type of t-shirts and souvenirs at good prices.

Thursday.....the best day of the whole trip. We started out by sunning and drinking and enjoying all of our friends in the group. Michelle with HEDO III (sales, I think) was able to treat our whole group to a cruise on a big catamaran. So we got together our group of about 30 people and met on the dock. After a few photos we boarded the glass bottom boat. We were taken out to the Catamaran with it's own crew, "COOL JAZZ". They greeted us with music dancing and drinking of course. We sailed the catamaran out for about an hour and then stopped the boat so everyone could go snorkeling. I took an underwater camera and got some great shots of an octopus I found out there. After snorkeling, we started the fun drinking games we all played. Body shots, beer chugging from between the girl's legs. Then the crew got us up and we all danced and got dirty. The cruise was the best part of our trip I think. After about an hour partying we sailed back into HEDO naked and screaming. After leaving the dock we all ran to the waterslide and took it over naked.

That night was toga night and we all dressed up as a group and we all looked great. We had a great dinner at the buffet and watched the toga parade. Then we were all off to the nude pool and jacuzzi. A couple of us....me, Koz, George and a few others took over the waterslide at about 2am again nude. Then we went to the jacuzzi again and wound down our awesome day.

The next day, friday, we were leaving. Man, was that hard. I think the hardest part was putting on all those clothes. We said good-bye to all of our new friends and headed back on the bus to the airport. That was an adventure on it's own. We got stuck in Miami for two days because of the United pilots strike. We finally made it home Saturday about 11:30pm.

Walter and Cheryl......Thank You so much for keeping the group connected on the HEDO FUN PAGE. We loved meeting all of the group after talking to them for a couple months. We even loved the one's we all recruited after we arrived, like Thomas and Amy and Jeremy and Mandi. It just made it that much better.

It was a trip of a lifetime and will never be forgotten. If I could give one person credit for making our group feel special it would be "MICHELLE". She was constantly in contact with us and doing things for us. THANK YOU MICHELLE FROM SHAWNA AND JIM, YOU MADE OUR TRIP!!!!!!!! (just remember we all have pictures from that cruise......:)
