Regular forum viewers will readily attest, perhaps the most common and sage advice often meted to the single Buck on his virgin voyage to Hedo is “go without expectations”.
This is often wise … especially since the “expectation” usually alluded is perhaps that of a sexual nature. Though many would not publicly confess, one can only imagine the many misguided Bucks who have gone on this wonderful pilgrim, with high expectations of a resort with hot horny women, orgy filled nights and nonstop round the clock action.
Therefore, when one is advised, “go without expectations” I believe it is often to meant to manage a lad’s enthusiasm… and maybe also keep him out of trouble.
However, if one is completely honest, I think we all go with some type of expectation, some are wilder than others, some more creative, but if you really think about it, when we book that vacation, pack that suitcase and get on that plane, somewhere in the back of that mind is a little voice going, I sure wish … or I am hoping for …
So lemme break the tradition of political correctness by saying, my vacation starts in exactly 4 weeks and this Buck is going with a whole lotta expectations!!!!
Why you ask? Well, for one thing, if the Mayans are to be believed, the world ends on December 21st this year, so this will probably be my last trip to Hedo and I’ll be darned if I’m not going to make it count!!!!
Among my list of expectations are the following:
1. First and foremost, I expect to have a great time, this is not a requirement for anyone else to provide (and I do realize the ball is squarely in my Court), but I refuse to have a bad time.
2. I expect wonderful shows from all the hardworking entertainment coordinators and for the Piano player to at least learn a few tunes.
3. I expect a smiling Chef at the Omelette station, who will share in my predetermined Olympic joy when Jamaica wins the gold in all major sprint events at the Olympics this summer
4. I expect the watered down Red Stripe so I can drink in the pool all day and still have my wits about me
5. I hope to meet an interesting girl to have dinner with on at least 1 evening
6. I expect the waterslide to be on, so I can slide down butt naked when no one is looking
7. I expect sunshine (the weather not the girl … even though she is quite nice too) and fair weather
8. I expect the local peddlers on property to be friendly and courteous in trying to sell their craft
9. I expect the female masseuse to be strong so I can have a really good massage
10. And I expect that my boss will realize I’m on vacation and not email, call or send me bbm messages until I’m back to work.
So, there you have it, a few things on my little list for my Hedo visit this August. Anyone else going with expectations or is it just me?
