Simone's Thoughts - Every January there is a flood of year long sweeps. These are sweeps you can enter all year long - hooray! (sarcasm intentional) I personally prefer sweeps that don't hang around like some unwanted party guest all year long, but some people love them. For me they become the bastard stepchild of my sweepstakes. Sitting at the back of the line, having been pushed there by sweeps that end earlier. Yelling at me in a pipsqueak voice "Hey remember me? Only 8 more months until I put out!"

I also find it amusing that a company that wants me to have a healthy heart is encouraging me to sit in front of my computer for over a year entering their sweep.

So I figured I would jump the gun and give you guys one you can enter for MORE than a year. Enjoy!

Couples only dance

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Pevonia Ultimate Grenada Trip

Prize(s) - One week trip for 2 to LaSource in Grenada

End Date - August 31, 2009

Entry Frequency - daily per household

Simone's Thoughts - Since I did kids yesterday, this one is for the adults. Our son is just too young for us to leave him for a week at this point, but for everyone that can get away, this trip would be great! The ARV on this one is $15,000, so hopefully a pretty luxurious trip. In any case, if you win, save those receipts so that perhaps you can claim a lower FMV on your taxes.

Note: This a couples only resort, so you won't be able to try and work with the sponsor to weasel your kids in after you win. This really is only for adults.

Simone's Thoughts - I use the term winter very loosely as here in TX we may not even really have one. I am hoping for some form of winter this year, but who knows. In any case, I still want to be on a beach.
