We say Cancun, then either do the "I don't know he booked it" thing, or say Iberostar as we've been there before so we know enough about it. You gotta do what you gotta do. Although we would invite a few work friends of ours with no problems, it just hasn't worked out in their schedule.
I know!! We told 2 friends of ours about TTR, they went. We were worried the whole time they were there as to whether they would like it or not. They got home and now have been more times than we have!! Never tell your friends, they will become addicted to the place! We have since gone with them to keep them under control and will be doing so this week! Gotta keep them in line!! LOL! Right, bdangel? LOL!!
At least going to Cancun doesn't have the stigma that Jamaica does. After every trip to Breeezes, Someone would always ask my wife "I didn't know you were a smoker". Very funny until she got "random" drug tested after one trip. Kinda serious after that.
Hannah, we get it big time because Melissa is also a preachers kid. Hell up to about five years ago we were childrens church pastors. Now we look it it this way, we meet more truly open, non-judgemental, accepting people than we ever did at our church. And that place is where we are supossed to get welcomed with open arms. Even if they don't like it just remember we like you and will giving you guys a big hug when we get there.
People are going to judge everything you do or say in life, who cares? How you choose to spend your time on vacation with your wife (or friends) is a matter of personal preference. Do you grief people over going to pretentious wine tasting vacations in California? I find that people who are against you going to Temptations fall into one of a few catagories.... 1. People who wish their wife (or husband) was cool enough to run around topless and not such a stick in the mud (the jealous) 2. Overly religious or repressed people 3. Contrarians My wife and I tell all our friends, some think it would be tons of fun to try, others think its crazy. Having recently suffered a serious personal loss you suddenly wake up to the fact that "nobody knows you, and nobody gives a shit" should apply not only at Temptations but in LIFE. We are only going to get one shot at this and I plan on making myself and my wife happy, everyone else cans go pound sand. Live for yourself because nothing is a sure thing, even tomorrow.
Unfortunately, sometimes the above mentionned folks are the ones making the rules or, worst still, interepting the existing rules. All it takes for a school teacher is for one "prude" parent to complain to the board office and thats it. As far the topless part, my wife tells folks "Any place you have Europeans, you are going to have hooters on display". Our school systems Lawyer tells all of the staff, there are 3 simple rules to stay out of trouble 1. no photographs 2. No Photographs 3. NO PHOTOGRAPHS
We must be members of the New Fashioned crowd. We had 42 family and friends at Temptation last month for our son's wedding. Everyone had a blast. Some of the group stayed next door at the Cancun Bay Resort (used to be the Q Bay), and they all wished they had stayed at Temptation.
Nobody ever asks us the name, nobody ever been that interested to be honest. However, since our next trip is our 3rd time to the same resort in the last 2 years, people are starting to take note with questions like "it must be good if you're going back to the same place AGAIN". If anyone asks, I'd tell them the real name. Not many over here know about the place. Only had one person so far say "that's a swingers resort" and politely explained that it's not. I'd be more wary if it was somewhere like Hedo, that gets a lot more publicity over here.
