Then my daahlings, it's all systems go, for the much-anticipated 10 anniversary celebration of one of the hottest resorts, in the known universe, as friends, patrons and repeat guests, all, have not only been queuing to confirm their booking and attendance at next week's week-long celebrations, some have actually arrived and are now in house creating their own pre-celebration festivities.

Oldest travel group

Dears, one such group which arrived early for the festivities is 'The Jamaican Waterslide Team'. Arguably, the oldest travel group originally founded at the resort and since their inauguration, returns to the resort each year to share in the anniversary celebrations.

Founded by Bill and Nancy Fitzpatrick of Florida, the group's name is a play on the international success of the Jamaican bobsleigh team and the fun Waterslide of the resort, which starts atop the resort's Hurricane Disco, traverses the disco and the entertainment lounge and empties into the resorts mega-size swimming pool.

Well, this year being the 10th anniversary of Hedonism III, it's also the 10th anniversary of the founding of the United States-based Jamaican waterslide team and non-profit organisation. They will be hosting a 10th annual meeting and fun-fest during the celebrations, as the group, unlike others who are owned, operated and/or promoted by a travel agency, comprises individuals drawn from all over the world, but with its primary membership coming out of the US.

They describe themselves thus: "We're just a group of folks who like adult fun." And adult fun and games it will be, and then some, all of next week. This year, they will number over 70 persons representing 18 states and three countries, all set to join a number of other groups and Jamaicans in celebrating the resort's 10th anniversary. General Manager Lance Parrish and his dedicated staff have promised nothing but fun and excitement for the week-long do!

Pumpkins, y'all know that this here scribe wouldn't miss this celebration for all the excitement in Kingston, so it's all about Hedonism III and fabulous Runaway Bay, next week!
