Miss TSA Pinup Calendar

Here's a cool calender that's called Miss TSA Pinup Calendar from 2010.   They appear to be legit and done by a radiologist.  I doubt the TSA themselves did it, it looks like they got a very curvy model to post for a few photos, in few in which she's even pack heat!

Does anyone else have extra info on these calendars?   They're pretty cool!

Google Plus Invites

Well, I'm not sure what this has to to with travel, but this week I fought and got my way into Google Plus, Google's attempt to have a "Facebook" type of social media platform.  It's not an easy in at the moment, it seems like you need an invite from someone that got in earlier and then MAYBE you can get an official invite from Google.

But I'm in!  And I got invites I can send out!  Soooo...if you want one either A. comment in this post with your e-mail and I'll send you one OR B. use the "Contact Me" button on the About your host page to send me your e-mail.

Either way I'll send you an invite and you'll be in!  No catches, just trying to help out a fellow man (or woman). 

Tropicana Casino dishes out more than $11M since April '11

Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City has lost more than $11 million to just two high-stakes gamblers since April of this year.  One blackjack player got them for $5.8 million in April while another blackjack/craps player walked away with $5.2 million last week.

Yet despite the huge losses, the Tropicana is sticking with its new emphasis on high-stakes table games play, confident that things will eventually run in its favor.  

"That's just how it goes sometimes; if you bet more, you can win more," said Tony Rodio, the Tropicana's president and CEO. "We have a strategy of offering the most aggressive and highest table games limits in the Atlantic City market and we're not going to change that. If someone wants to take the shot, we'll take the action."

Free WiFi at Breezes Negril?

Word has it that Breezes Grand in Negril, Jamaica now offers free WiFi in their nice big lobby.  They also have an internet cafe but that seems to be a paid service still, but if you wanna hang in the lobby with your I-Phone or computer, go for it!

(the lobby of Breezes Negril)

We were there in 2009 and they did not have any WiFi that I knew about, but then again I didn't check.  But now it's reportedly FREE!!!   This coming from Breezes concierge Tannif. 

UPDATE:  I can confirm that there is free WiFi on the C/O side.  Not much reception in rooms but works fine around the pool and grill.

DR Nights hires a new sexy escort

DR Nights, the hottest sex resort around, hired a new sexy woman last week named Esther.  If you like your women dark, busty and fun then she's for you!   Esther tried to work at the resort at age 16 but naturally they had to turn her way.  Now 18 plus she's back and DR Nights hired her on the spot.

She's 5'3 and 120 pounds, 15 of which must be boobs cause she's got a 34D cup size.  Mama mia!  Her Englishg isn't so good, so if you head down there and meet up with Esther then you better brush up on your Spanish or just spend a lot of time with her in ways where words aren't so much needed.  :-D

Sean and Mary head to Hedonism II

Travel Destination:  Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica

Travel Dates:  June 15 to 22, 2011

This is my official unofficial trip report for our June 15 to June 22 trip to Hedo II.  We’ll try to stay as topical as possible and also hit a few non resort specific things in the process.  I’ll start with our trip there.  We bounced through 2 airports to get to Mobay.  CLT sucks as an airport, It is difficult to navigate, poor food options inside the security gates, and the people in the airport both ways were VERY rude.  Our Air Ja-maybe(Jamaica) flight was delayed 2 hours and landed us in Montego Bay around 7 PM or a bit later.  The airport was dead.  Our trip to Hedo on the bus occurred mostly in the dark.  My recommendation and intention for future trips would be to get a room in Mobay for the first night if you are going to arrive in the evening.  We were just too tired to avail ourselves of the wonder that is Hedo.

Checkin, Room and Grounds

Once we were at Hedo and up in the morning we were in Hedo Heaven.  The room they assigned us (2143) was in H-block just as I asked and a perfect room.  Check in was fast, the AC rocked, and we had Hot water on demand.  We just had to figure out how to work the shower controls.  I imagine this is a major chore when one is inebriated.  Our room was spotless (freshly painted) and the housekeeping kept it so.  The grounds were beautiful and the frogs were singing like the Hedo Tabernacle Choir.

Food and Drink

The food at the dining room was actually better than I remember from the past.  I would give it 3 stars.  My only issue with the main dining room is that I recall there being more local cuisine available at dinner and I missed it.  Musical and entertainment volumes were not at all too load during dinner.   The dining room fans spin fine but don’t make a big difference to me just a slight breeze.  Hot hot hot or not it didn’t seem so bad heat wise as to be uncomfortable at mealtimes.  Charlie is still the omelet master.   Munasan was very good (3.5 stars), and Pastafari (Martino’s) was actually for it high level of elegance a slight disappointment (3 stars).  The nude grill absolutely rocked (4.5 stars).  They presence of jerk chicken made it phenomenal.  The beef and chicken Patties were always top notch.  I think I ate half of Idaho worth of fries.  I cheated this trip and brought my own small bottle of Heinz ketchup.

Entertainment

First the bad.  The schedule was a mess.  I got up one morning and checked the chalkboard (most up to date?) and throughout the day nothing on the board happened.  It was either no activity or some new unmentioned activity.  The Wet-T-Shirt (HedoMary won first place) contest occurred a day early.  Lucky for HedoMary and for Hedo the EC’s came down to the pool to let us know just as Mary and I were about to leave.  Now over all the activities were loads of fun and EC’s made it clear cameras should not be out during the contests.  The lunch time spins were energetic and a bit louder than dinner entertainment but still not bad at all.  If you want to carry on a conversation just sit up towards the back and you will be just fine.  The EC’s were present at the nude pool every day for a couple hours and either played some fun games with everyone, or fought with the sound system, or just sort of socialized with all the guests to see that we were having fun.  HedoMary and I really love those guys.

Other Activities

We tried a couple’s massage and while it felt great while it was happening and I still look back on it fondly, HedoMary paid dearly for hers.  She ended up with bruising on and between her ribs that made breathing difficult for the rest of the trip.  We did try the snorkeling trip  and I wish we had taken several more early in the stay.  I had a digital video/still camera and I used it the entire snorkeling excursion.  It was a beautiful spot to go.  We took several walks down the beach and loved it.  There is a “local’s” stand almost all the way to the trees where you have to go out into the water to walk past the trees.  It is just past the Negril Beach House.  These guys are true artists with their driftwood carvings and charge VERY reasonable prices.  They are also more than happy to sit down and talk to you all about island history like the Maroons, Nani, and Germantown.  There is something neat about getting a Jamaica history lesson while sitting on the beach with a true Rastafarian while he smokes some Ganja.

Random Resort Things

The Hedo Store – OK most of the “pharmacy and toiletry” stuff is kind of expensive but no more so than buying at a gas station or convenience stores back home so don’t be afraid to pick up this stuff there.  Souvenirs are a bit on the high side but they have a clearance section for carvings etc that will get you what you need at FAR FAR lower prices than anywhere on the resort or down the beach.  The biggest surprise was that I could get diet Coke, coke zero, etc for just a dollar for a plastic bottle (approx. 20 oz).  This is cheaper than back home.  Pepsi products and Ting were only $1.25.

Computer use in the lab - This ran $5 for 15 minutes.  Given how little time we needed on our laptop we decided rather than wireless in our room ($15/day) to just use the lab when we need on.

Long Distance to State side – Just leave a credit card imprint and the charge is $2 the first minute and $89/min after.  The thing is we did about 7 calls and 20 minutes and our total charge at the end was $8.89 total.  Go Figure.

Painted rocks – Be sure to hit up “The Original” Winston on the beach to get your own leave behind or take home piece of rock art.

Conchs and shells – Just across the fence on the Sandal side of Hedo you will find “Little Shell Boy Mr. Cool.”  He has a great selection and will bargain for a good price.  If there is something in particular you seek he will find it for you.  He never hard selled us and once we told him our departure date he never mentioned buying until our last day and then politely so.  He did however inquire after HedoMary when I would go by without her.

Friends

I have to say that the new friends that I met this trip are the greatest ever.  I would say that my Hedo friends could kick you Hedo Friends but.  I am going to try to remember every one’s names but I don’t have there necklace’s so I could be confused,  Thomas and Jody (love you guys believe me I do), Don and Donna (My homies), Chris and Maggie! (flip the bird at ya girl), Stephan (Germany’s in the HOUSE), Rob (you know it), Matt and Michelle (my other Homies), and skinny rogers (you don’t know I am talking about you but I gave you this nickname).
