I won a trip to Hawaii! I was so shocked and happy to have won this. This was a weekly sweeps with small prizes sent out every week. I remember when this was going on I was just hoping for one of the travel pillows...LOL!  I never dreamed I would win the grand prize.  Thank you Mr. Sweepy for an amazing site!

How wonderful for you, Terry!  And you can still buy that pillow with your spending money.  Must be a pretty big deal for them to put the Free in free parking in all capital letters.  There is so much to see and do in Hawaii.  My daughter went there for her honeymoon and soooo wants to go back!  Enjoy your trip.

 I won a travel pillowcase on that one, not an actual pillow.  Don't know if it was an additonal prize or they goofed somewhere.  Have a great time in Hawaii.

Congratulations on your win but would not want to be in your shoes to come up with those huge taxes next year.

 I am hoping that someday the Trip to Hawaii will be a win for me.  I would love to see the flowers, birds, volcanoes, beaches, and nature.  Sounds like an absolutely wonderful place to visit.  Have a wonderful trip, and perhaps the other 3 you are taking can help contribute toward the IRS bill.  Enjoy every minute!  Evie-WI

LUCKY YOU!!!  It's one of those things you can only pay the taxes on but can't afford it on your own.  Enjoy yourself and live for today!   Don't listen to the wet blankets.

WOW - A big congratulations to you!!!  You and your family will live like kings for a whole week in one of the most beautiful places in the world!!!  I would take in every second I was there!!!  I've only been there once, ten years ago, but the beauty took my breath away.  You really get to experience God's glory in Hawaii!  I am so happy for you and your family!  ENJOY!

I'd be thrilled to pay the taxes for a spectacular trip like that!

Hope to hear about it when you get back.

WHAT AN AWESOME WIN HOPE YOU ENJOY THE TRIP.... ALOHA

Terry congratulation on your win!  I have been to Hawaii 6 times, and it is my favorite travel destination.  You are going to have a fantastic time! 

I am taking my sister and her husband. They said they would pitch in on the taxes so I am not worried.

 I googled the resort that we will be staying at and it looks gorgeous. SusyQ960, the reason they stressed FREE parking at the resort is because it is $29 a day just to park there.

 I don't know when we will take the trip. We have until Dec. 2009 to plan the trip and we must travel by June 2010. I feel ready to go now...lol.

 big congrats, it doesn't get much better than that!
