Newbies, Beware. Dreaded Island Fever is Real!

How do we spell DIF,,,,, we waited 10 years to add a deck on our new house, but we are less than 10 days arriving for trip #52 since April 1988.

DIF is real!!! Once you leave Hedo, you get sad, but start thinking and planning your return. As the time gets closer to the next trip, it gets worse! There's no cure, however we have discovered temporary remedies to help us through!

we get tips at work and we now count those tips in "Hedo nights" a good tips is one Hedo night lol
the price of mental health is way more important than so many little material things. so many of our friends are betting on their 60's to start doing stuff and so many don't even make or don't make it together...

Agree with this so much. No longer do I want to wait until we are retired before having fun. We are not old at mid 40s but old enough we are starting to see friends unfortunately suffer from cancer and otherwise never being able to pull of a Hedonism getaway. i get saving for later in life but not at the expense of enjoying life at least once a year at Hedo. Just a matter of budgeting to make it happen.

Yeah sounds like we were there at the same time. we are definitely coming back next year to do it again. i doubt it will the same week though. we are thinking some time in late may or june, maybe even as late as july 4th. would love to do march again as it was a perfect break from winter in chicago but timing is everything and work schedules are suggesting we can't do march next year. We will 100% be there though. No doubt.

Exactly. Who needs a perfect driveway anyway?

Trip number 52?!?!?!?!?! Holy crap. Jealous is the word that comes to mind immediately and looks like we share the same hometown. Enjoy that trip # 52. Wow

Three times in 18 months? We are just trying to pull off once a year. well done. Have you done a late may trip before? we are thinking that may be our next trip in 2016. Maybe wrapping it around memorial day. I am hoping that is a good time to go although I know anytime is a good time to go .

The anticipation was sooooo fun. I just loved it. Every single time we went out shopping, I was looking for the sexiest, most see-through items of clothing I could possibly convince my wife to buy. All the anticipation was super hot. Coming home after the trip was such a depressing let-down.

**ChiTownHedoCpl** · 04-01-2015, 07:20 PM

And for those virgins who posted that you are about to enjoy your first trip, I hope that you have as much fun as we did. If any of you have questions please feel free to shoot us a message and we will give you as good an answer as we can. Have a great time!!

We had our first trip in the fall of 2014 and are in the planning stages for trip #3 for this fall. Three trips in 12 months. I think we have to slow down after that though; our savings are almost depleted

**foxxyandhound** · 04-02-2015, 08:43 AM

we never got the DIF.... we went to hedo for the first time in jan 2011 we waited a year before we went back.... but we never really had what everyone is talking about here.... we got home from our first trip the last of Jan and in feb we booked for the next jan.... then when we went again we book while we was there...lol.... we are going to be on trip number 8 in 3 weeks and number 9 in oct and 10 in jan 2016.... we do love it there over any place we have been... but we never got that we really miss hedo feeling as we live the same here as we do there.... other then being naked all the time....lol... we agree with newfie screech though... 3 trips to hedo last year and 3 this year we have got to slow down alittle...lol...
