if the duty free shop is still open, that is

This sweeps, a five-night getaway to the U.S. Virgin Islands, includes a $1,000 gift certificate to duty free shops. I’ve never understood their appeal. I suppose that’s because I’ve never been in the market for a bottle of perfume or a watch or a bottle of cognac at the precise moment I’ve passed a duty free shop. No, wait. That’s not accurate. I bought my parents a bottle of liquor in a duty free shop once. I bought the duty free gift because I thought that’s what you were supposed to do. I was barely legal drinking age, and I so wanted to be the sophisticated traveler.

If forced, that is, if I won this one, I'm sure I could treat myself to a little something. Or get my Christmas shopping done early.

This prize also includes massages and facials, a sunset sail on a catamaran, a submarine ride (Atlantis Adventures ) and tickets to Coral World Ocean Park. Man oh man, I want to go. The winner stays at the Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort & Spa. See the OFFICIAL RULES for details.
