    Jamaican Waterslide Team 2008 Trip Report

    Trip Report
    JAMAICAN WATERSLIDE TEAM
    Sept 6-13, 2008

    The Jamaican Waterslide Team’s (JWST) 9th Annual gathering at Hedonism III during the period 6 to 13 September has now officially been entered into the history books.

    Our group was a little smaller this year, numbering almost 60 strong, representing 14 states and Canada. The group also represented all ages, all walks of life and an interesting mix of couples and singles that came together like a family. We also had the pleasure of welcoming the Jamaican Rock n’ Blues Jam as the official band of the JWST. You guys were awesome! The smaller group allowed for a closeness that is hard to duplicate in a larger one. After all was said and done, the trip was a huge success with almost every member vowing to return next year.

    The Hurricanes that seemed to come one after another this year stayed well North of Jamaica and did very little damage to the resort and from what we could see there were only a few broken tree limbs and foliage which were quickly cleaned up by the ever present Grounds Maintenance crew. We had one rainy day early in the week and the resort compensated all of us with a their “No Sun Guarantee” and we each received a voucher for the value of one day’s lodging to be used within the next year.

    Some of us arrived a few days early to help set up for the JWST week. It was really nice to get settled in and relax a bit before everyone showed up. Friday September 5th the Welcoming Committee met to get all the packets put together. With everyone’s personalized paraphernalia and other “goodies”. We even had a contest set up for each of the members to meet each other and to qualify for a drawing to win a free three night stay at Hedo III for a future trip. We call this game “The Name Game”.

    Our week began on Saturday September 6th with busload after busload of JWST members being delivered to the lobby of Hedonism III. As many members as possible were greeted with their drink of choice, assisted with check-in, and given their own Personal Packet stuffed with the above mentioned goodies. The Welcome Committee also ensured that requested drinks and committee members would be in the lobby to meet and greet as many JWST members as possible. It sure was fun getting hugs from friends we knew and the new JWST members we would be getting to know during the week. Needless to say, one of the first questions was “what is your number (the contest)?” Our fun filled week had officially started.

    We also had a volunteer “scribe” who kept our bulletin board posted each morning with the day’s activities and he also included, birthdays, anniversaries and other notable dates and events to keep us all up to date. He certainly has a job for next year as well.
    We (The JWST) try not to schedule an over-abundance of activities, and as always, if you do not choose to participate, you are under no obligation. However, the activities we do schedule are referred to by most of the members as “Kick-Ass”. We are especially referring to our now famous Sunday theme night “Wear Mesh and Glow”. This is one activity that really breaks the Ice, so to speak. The evening begins about 10 pm as we all cram into a suite in the 600 building wearing only our mesh outfits, in less than a hour we emerge draped with flashy, blinky, brightly colored glowing necklaces and bracelets. We “lit up” the night as we paraded through the resort on our way to the Disco. We also found out that the glow sticks and necklaces keep glowing after waterslide runs.

    Monday afternoon we held our Welcome Party. The theme was “Naughty T-shirts”. The Hedo staff judged the best male and female Naughty Tee, the best of which won prizes. The Grand Prize “Name Game” ticket was also pulled from the hat, this topped off our “Welcome Party”. Congratulations to the winners.

    Tuesday afternoon we were all invited to a JWST wedding. The lucky couple tied the knot on the prude beach. Congratulations and looking forward to seeing the two of you next year. Tuesday evening the JWST kicked it up a notch with our Team Dinner and group photo. Our Theme was “Silver or Gold - Sexy and Sensuous”. All I can say is, ladies… Gorgeous, Glamorous, Beautiful and just plain WOW!

    Wednesday…Nude Catamaran Cruise :~) What can we say? Let’s do it again. WET! WILD! and WICKED! We also did our first pasties night in the piano bar, which turned out to be a lot of fun.

    Thursday we held our “Erotic Gift Exchange”, which is always a fun event. Thank you to our two team Captains, nicely done. Thursday night was also TOGA Night. What a great array of Togas that everyone had. It is always a great time and a great party.

    Friday, oh what a Friday, The JWST gathered at the Quad pool for our annual “JWST-HEDO III -2008” photo. After the photo shoot the Hedo EC’s held a wet T-shirt contest. All I can say at this time is, Erotic!

    Friday evening Hedonism III kicked off its 9th anniversary celebration, which happens to coincide with the 9th annual gathering of the JWST. The Grand Gala Celebration was held in the Tropical Terrace Dining Room. After a fantastic dinner the celebration seemed to take on a life of it’s own, starting with The Miss Hedonism III contest, which by the way, a JWST member in training (MIT) took top honors and another member took second place. More about MIT’s a little later.

    The cohesiveness of our group this year was nothing short of amazing. We not only bonded well with each other, but with the other guests at the resort. Before any of us arrived at Hedo III we (as members) held twice weekly chats months in advance of the trip, so when it came time to meet and greet, it was like saying hello to old friends. It’s the people that make the Hedo experience what it is. I am sure that lifetime friendships were formed. I know that we all look forward to seeing each other at Hedo III in the near future.

    A few words about Members in Training (MIT’s)…..It is the policy of the Jamaican Waterslide Team to close membership one week before our trip, this allows time to finalize the small details i.e. print door and name tags, etc.

    Members in Training: Once at Hedo III we will meet couples or singles that seem to fit with the JWST perfectly. This year two couples joined us as MIT’s as did a young solider on leave from Iraq.

    Smiley you were a joy to get to know, may God Bless and keep you safe. May our paths cross again someday.

    A very special thank you to our various committee and team Captains. The Welcome Committee, job well done. To the Men’s and Ladies Massage Team’s, FANTASTIC! Slide Captain, let’s do it again next year, be sure to bring your whistle. Erotic Gift Exchange Captain and Co-Captain, very, very nice, excellent in fact. The Team took a vote and you two have the hosting duties again next year.

    We’d also like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to Mr. Kevin Levee, Hedo III’s General Manager and the wonderful Staff that make Hedo III all that it is. The service, the food and the hospitality were better than ever and that’s what keeps us coming back to Hedo III year after year

    The Jamaican Waterslide Team’s 10th annual meeting will take place during the period 12 to 19 September 2009 at Hedonism III in Jamaica. Next year promises to be 10 times sexier. It will also be the 10th anniversary of Hedo III’s opening on September 14. That night promises to be memorable with a Grand Gala Party, outstanding food and spectacular entertainment.

    Come and join us.

    Thanks for taking the time to write your most excellent trip report. Glad the resort survived the hurricanes with little or no damage.
