Grand Lido Braco Trip Report
March 30th- April 4th 2004
Fred and Cindi
Before we start, I’d like to once again thank the Grand Lido Visitors Hangout board, and members for all the input that made this our "Best" vacation ever.
I booked us for a stay on the A/N side, which was our 1st ever experience being nude, Cindi was nervous as hell, and not a happy camper about my booking this without her knowledge.
That said, the flight was fine, we flew from Baltimore Washington International airport, arrived in Jamaica in 3 hrs. We took the bus ride to Braco, what a ride; cows, goats, etc walk out in the open.
We were happy to arrive at our destination, GLB, upon exiting the bus we were overjoyed to be handed cool wash towels, and a RUM PUNCH, we have arrived in Paradise!!
After checking in, we were pointed in the direction of our room at the A/N side, and off we went. As we approached the pool, a pleasant "Hello Fred & Cindi", it was Nancy & Tom, welcoming us, they were very helpful in countless e-mails confirming my decision this was a good decision for a vacation spot.
I told them we’d be right down, my shy wife was waiting for me on the patio naked when I exited the bathroom, and Cindi was ready!!
Cindi never actually unpacked her suitcase the entire week, another 1st, and she was ready to be naked, lol.
Down we went to the pool, Tom & Nancy made us feel so comfortable immediately, that quick we were both comfortable, and realized it is no big deal. We also were introduced to Tom & Nancy’s friends, Jeff & Julie, Rik & Pat, John & Kathy.
Within a few hours we were having the best conversations with all of these nice people, and knew we were in store for a great vacation.
Our 1st night we ate at Victoria’s market, the service there, and everywhere was top notch, the food was well prepared, and they will work with any special requests you have. Being that this was Tuesday Night, we went to the Toga Night.
We met another fun couple, Bob & Monique from Texas, we went to the disco early, where we were fitted for our Toga’s, Cindi actually took off her top right there as she was fitted into her sexy toga. Nothing like a little shock value to the prudes walking by. I was amazed that 90% of all the participants were from the A/N side. Those that tried to come in to gawk w/o togas were asked to leave. It was a lot of fun!!! One lady who was trying on a toga, was telling someone she was a family physician, I kept that in my memory banks, get to that later.
After Toga, a bunch of us hit the Hot Tub, which became a night ritual, along with orders of Lamp Chops, Tortilla Chips, and Chicken Wings, and of course plenty of rum punches. Most night s there was more than 7 couples in the tub, and there is plenty of room in this huge hot tub.
The weather was absolutely beautiful every day we were there; we spent time between the pool, and beach. Played a little of naked volleyball, and met many others, Greg, Carol, and her crew, Big Tom, and many others, everyone was so friendly.
We went to the Beach Party, food was plentiful, entertainment was good, the guy doing the limbo under fire was great, even my big ass with Bob did the Limbo contest, and then we headed back to the nude side for the Bonfire. That was really neat, watching the fire, drinking our drinks and just chatting with the nicest people, there we met a cool couple Lori & Clay, we had a lot in common, and we all later went to the Hot Tub.
They told me about Fantasy Night, which we missed, and the guy wearing a blindfold, handcuffed, wearing a thong and a cock ring, and people paddling his ass with paddles.
We sat and chatted with Larry & Kathy a lot the following day, I decided to go snorkeling, and told Larry & Clay I was going out, big mistake, I tried to swim outside the corals through the middle, and my ass got cut up, thankfully Clay and Larry saw my desperation and came out for the rescue. Clay brought out the kayak, and I tried to get in, 2 times in a row I knocked it over and Clay too. Clay asked "Fred, How much do you weigh, I answered 220, he said that is the problem" so I got in the kayak 1st this time, guess what, Clay and his 180 lbs, knocked us over again. Larry held the kayak, and we both made it in, and off to shore we went. We gave everyone on the beach, a belly laugh watching two grown men flipping over a boat stark naked, asses in the air!!
We went to the Japanese restaurant, with Larry & Kathy, and had an awesome meal, and later hit the pajama party with the entire A/N side again. Again, 90% of people were from the A/N side, outfits were sexy and fun. I saw the family physician again, and approached her" Doctor, What are you doing here? Dr. what are you wearing? her mouthed just opened, I said , I’m Fred, you know me, she cringed, before I happily told her "April’s Fool", she said she almost peed herself, another fun night.
We had dinner at the French restaurant our last evening, and wow!!! The meal we had, in Baltimore would have cost us over $200.00, the service was top notch, they even had a harp player during the meal.
The Street party was fun also, we just missed the Lobster, and they stopped them March 31st, due to mating season. I got up and entered the Dance contest, and split the prize of "King Braco" for the night, it was fun, and the guys and girls all that were in the finale’s, were from the A/N side!!
To wrap us this incredibly long trip report, GLB is a very sensual experience between a couple, and you will meet the nicest people on the A/N side. We were fortunate to have met so many great people, and hope to make this a yearly retreat. It is a place that allows forgetting your day to day headaches, pressures etc.
To Tom & Nancy, Jeff & Julie, John & Kathy, Larry & Kathy, Brenda & Mike, John & Susan, Greg & Annot, Bob & Monique, Clay & Lori, Carol & her Crew, Thanks for the friendship, and hope to see you all again next year.
