Simone's Thoughts - Another month gone, another hope for some awesome FedEx affy arriving at my doorstep in the next week. One can dream. This one would be cool to win although not sure on the whole 1 night trip thing, but whatever, for the $50k its well worth it.

Cirque-cle the world

Prize(s)- 4 day trip for 2 to winner's choice of a Cirque du Soleil show at one of the following five locations:
Montreal, Canada , Barcelona, Spain , Zurich, Switzerland, Tokyo, Japan , or Las Vegas, Nevada and $600 (5 trips given away)

Simone's Thoughts - This is a really way to do a prize. You pick a show and then send people to a variety of differnt locales throughout the world where the show is playing. Not too much different than regular sweeps, but when you enter as much as I do its nice to see a little creativity!

Canadian Rail

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Woman's Day Canadian Rail Trip

Prize(s)- 4 day trip for two from Toronto to Vancouver aboard Canada Rail

End Date - September 23, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I've always wanted to do this rail trip and doing it for free would be even better, especially since the airfare is covered! Of course I would like to do it in a little more than 4 days, but maybe that will be negotiable if I win.

Olympic Fever

Sweepstakes Title/Link - USA Vancouver Trip

Prize(s)- 4 day trip for two to Vancouver, BC, Canada and a visit to the Psych set

End Date - March 16, 2010

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - So before we found out we were pregnant w/ our now 18 month old son, my husband and I had booked a trip to Vancouver to see the Celebration of Lights. Unfortunately, it would have been about a month away from my due date so we canceled. We still want to go, and therefore, I enter to win trips like this one. If you are enjoying the scenery of the Olympics more than the actual sports themselves, you may want to enter to win this one too!

Tweet your way to the Olympics

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Vick's Olympic Sweep

Prize(s) - 4 day trip for 2 to Vancouver on February 18-21, 2010 to see the Olympics

End Date - January 4, 2010

Entry Frequency - 2x daily per person (1 on entry form & one via twitter)

Simone's Thoughts - Technically, the tweet is just an extra entry daily, but still an entry is an entry. My only concern with this trip would be the ARV. It is listed in the rules at $18,674 and honestly I'm not sure how much you would be able to mark it down for FMV. I have a feeling that a large portion of the ARV is in ticket prices to the Olympics and that can't be cheap. Either way, you won't get another chance to go to the Olympics in Vancouver, so definitely once in a lifetime trip.

Whistle while you work...

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Bon Appetit BC Sweep

Prize(s) - 6 night trip for 2 to Whistler, British Columbia

End Date - October 20, 2009

Entry Frequency - daily per person/ email

Simone's Thoughts - The thought of this trip does make me want to whistle while I work. With this economy, I think most people could use a pick me up at their jobs. Perhaps dreaming of this win will make it easier to get through your day! First prize is a $3400 AMEX card, so thats not bad either!
