So far Our Lady of Perpetual Rock, Jen Foster, is No. 1 in the The Click List video war on Logo and No. 1 in the contest to take center stage at he Dell Lounge’s Austin City Limits Music Festival. We couldn’t be prouder. And she couldn’t be more touched by the outpouring of votes from her Sweet fans.

They always say it’s lonely at the top, so let’s all keep Jen company.

Vote early and often in both of these contests:
• Austin City Limits (once per day) > Vote now
• Logo’s The Click List (vote as much as you like) > Vote now

Rock on, Jen Foster.

Dear friends,
It’s with great pleasure that we introduce the Sweet 100 program. Sweet believes that guests who book early deserve to be richly rewarded. Everyone who has already booked will receive these rewards as well as the rest of our first 100 to book the Sweet Caribbean Cruise. Each Sweet vacation will offer different rewards for our early bookings as amenities vary depending on the cruise line, resort or tour.

Dear friends,
It’s been an awesome couple of weeks for Sweet. Nicoll and I had an amazing time in New Orleans. We’re so excited to take you there. The people are so sweet, you’ll get cavities (so brush and floss a lot before we go). We’re going to have a blast. We’ve also found a fun way to help the community recover from Katrina and help prevent future disasters. Details coming soon. Read the rest of this entry »

Sweeties,
Bird watchers, pseudo-archeologists, divers and adventurers at heart, get ready for Belize. Belize boasts landscapes mixing mountains, savannas, wetlands, lush tropical rainforests and coastal lagoons.
Half of Belize is covered by jungle with 80 percent of the rainforest under government protection. We love that Belizeans place high priority on preservation and are pioneers of eco-tourism. There is a big focus on green-tourism because wildlife is the heart of Belize. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi ya, karate chop! Team Sweet’s 22 wonderful walkers joined 25,000 others who braved a misty, early Sunday morning in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park to fight HIV / AIDS.
