You’re all incredible women with incredible gifts. That’s why we’ve created the Sweet San Francisco Weekend to honor your contributions on vacation and at home and have an amazing four-day weekend, March 22-25, 2012.

An LGBT hotbed (mecca is so overused), San Francisco prides itself on its pride. Of course, it’s landscape is as gorgeous as its lesbian community. From Golden Gate Park to the Golden Gate, you’ll marvel at San Francisco’s unmatched beauty and living history. Explore this wondrous city with the women of Sweet during our fun and friendship-filled weekend.

Please nominate your favorite Sweeties and tell us why they should be Sweetie of the Year.

Out of towners, we don’t care where you sleep (or even if you sleep), but we’ve arranged a nice rate for you at our homebase, the Galleria Park Hotel.

We look forward to toasting your accomplishments and exploring the gorgeous San Francisco Bay Area with you.

Grand Canyon, Grand Shmanyon. It’s too big! There’s too many people. Besides, everything is getting smaller these days. Remember how big phones used to be? Remember how big hair used to be? It seems ludicrous in hindsight.

Join Sweet for a three day, two night rafting adventure down the MINI Grand Canyon on the Colorado River. All the beauty, none of the vastness. This segment of the Colorado River is the answer for the person who wants it all. It’s a stunningly beautiful way to leave the world behind you. We’ll enjoy the finest beaches on the Colorado as well as side canyons and campsites with amazing vistas.

Westwater’s rapids on this trip are created when the swift flowing Colorado River is forced through Granite Canyon, a narrow seam of polished black schist capped with red slickrock towers. Virtually unknown 30 years ago, Westwater Canyon has become a favorite choice for its pace, rhythm and intensity.

One of the advantages of a river trip is the flexibility of the daily itinerary. It can vary widely from one trip to the next based on group desires, Mother Nature, and courtesy for other groups on the river. The typical itineraries below illustrate a 3-day trip through Westwater Canyon on the Colorado River.

DAY 1
Meet at headquarters, in Green River, Utah, before two-hour ride to the put-in at Loma. Float leisurely through the desert scenery of Ruby Canyon. For those interested, inflatable kayaks provide the opportunity to experience the river on a solo basis. A side hike up Rattlesnake Canyon reveals a variety of desert plants and wildlife. Camp at Black Rocks where thousand year old ebony colored schist provides the background setting.

DAY 2
Peaceful floating and more time in the inflatable kayaks before reaching Westwater Ranger Station. The river enters the narrow canyons that give Westwater the nickname, “the Little Grand.” Small rapids begin to materialize along the otherwise peaceful stretches of the Colorado. Camp at one of the many beaches within Westwater Canyon.

DAY 3
Encounter rapids of Westwater—one right after another—Hunter’s, Funnel Falls, Surprise and THE BIG ONE, Skull Rapid. Observe bald eagle, great blue heron and snowy egret habitats. Short trip back to Green River.

We’re traveling aboard the Norwegian Epic, the crown jewel of the NCL family. Our ship is the BOMB! It’s brand spanking new. There’s an ice bar, made of ice. Literally, they hand you a parka. Blue Man Group performs as well.

From studios for solos to suites for families, the Epic offers swank accommodations for everyone. Delicious food is on tap, too.

Our adventure starts in Barcelona, Spain, the capital of Spain’s Catalonia region. It’s a classy, exciting, vibrant city that hosted the 1992 Summer Olympic Games.

We’ll explore Naples, where the landscape changes from neighborhood to neighborhood, from chic to shabby, then back to chic again. We’ll shop, we’ll stroll, we’ll eat.

Next, bask in the glory of the city that once was the capital of the world’s most powerful empire. No visit to Rome is complete without a visit to the Colosseum that stands as a reminder of the gladiator days. We’ll enjoy the art and history of the Tuscan region. Oh, and the food.

VilleFranche is quaint and magnificent. It’s a perfect place to indulge yourself. Steeped in history and beauty, Marseille is France’s oldest city.

Join Sweet for an Epic Mediterranean voyage this summer.

Join Sweet for a week of decadence, dancing and dolphins at the gorgeous, all-you-can-eat-drink-and-laugh Cozumel Palace Resort, September 1-8, 2012. We had so much fun in 2010, we’re doing it again.

Ask anyone who was there, the service is unmatched, the resort is gorgeous and there’s nothing like swimming with Sweet mermaids at 2am.

As ever, we’ll party like rockstars at our nightclub. On tap this week, we’ve got our wildly popular Mexican Festival, our signature Pink Party and much more.

Indulge, unwind and relax at this luxurious resort in the heart of Cozumel Island where the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea gently stroke the sandy shores.

Divers, nature lovers, history buffs and adventurers, this is the place to be. There’s something for everyone in this intimate, all-inclusive wonderland.

Workaholics rejoice! Can’t tear yourself away? Bring it with you! Wireless access and long-distance phone calls are included at no additional cost.

In 2010, we cleaned up beaches, released baby sea turtles and donated over $7,000 in cash and vet supplies to the local humane society plus 13 strays got fab new homes. We’ll build on that in 2012.

Cozumel is the largest island in Mexico. Our resort is just 10 miles away from Cozumel airport. Enjoy three restaurants where the scrumptiousness of the cuisine is matched by the friendliness of our hotel staff. Savor your favorite cocktail at the swim-up bar or your sweetheart’s company in your private double Jacuzzi. Room service is 24 hours. Your room’s bar is always stocked with your favorite beverages (alcoholic and non). And the best part? It’s all included at no additional cost.

SINGLE?
Get ready for fun! Solo travelers will have their very own program director who will make
sure they have the sweetest time ever. Each night the singles fairy will deliver your itinerary to your room.

Events include:
• Want to enjoy a romantic lobster dinner on the beach? Join us for the romantic lobster dinner for 30! This torchlit feast is popular for all the right reasons. If you don’t like lobster, you can order from the amazing restaurant menu.

• We’ll ditch the commitment ceremony and take a singles’ sunset cruise instead.

• Singles’ snorkel: Depart daily from the Palace dock. Sign up for the singles snorkel and hit the reef with a group of your favorite singles. No solo left behind.

• Morning “Singles’ Slather” poolside: Don’t have someone to grease you up with sunscreen? No worries! Meet every morning at the pool to make friends and help each other avoid the burn.

• Mealtime mates: Never worry about sitting alone. Every meal includes primo seating for singles and solos. Sit together, eat together, play together. This is where lasting friendships are made.

• Poolside singles’ section: Come for the slather, stay for the water volleyball, water polo, water horseplay. Toss your gear on a chaise in the singles area and get ready for a great day of play.

Join us for seven fun-filled days in the Western Caribbean, November 8-15, 2009, as Sweet takes over the entire Norwegian Spirit.

Our journey starts in New Orleans, where we’ll light up Bourbon Street with a huge party to launch our first cruise the night before we leave. Additionally, we’ll offer a three-day pre-package that offers guests the opportunity to pitch in with the Katrina relief effort by day and enjoy New Orleans’ legendary clubs by night.

From New Orleans we chart a course for the sunny, sleepy (until we get there) fishing village of Costa Maya, Mexico. Designed for cruise travelers bent on relaxation, Costa Maya has a hammock with your name on it as well as a gigantic saltwater pool with a swim-up bar.

Mayan ruins, colonial buildings and wildlife sanctuaries await in bustling Belize City, Belize.

We’ll spend an entire day in Roatan, Honduras, where the beach is plentiful, the water is clear and the coral reefs are full of amazing creatures. Roatan is one of the best places in the world to scuba dive and snorkel. Not a big fan of getting wet, explore the depths in a submersible boat.

Mmm, Cozumel, where the jungle hides ancient ruins and mystical cave formations draw travelers to Chac Tun Cavern. Whether you want to relax on the white sand beaches, enjoy a catamaran party cruise or peer at the brightly colored fishes from on top of the water or underwater, you’re sure to have a blast.

With four of the hottest DJs, parties by the legendary Club Skirts (makers of The Dinah Shore Weekend) and fantastic theme parties, it’s going to be an unbelievable week of music and dancing.
