Free flight to New Zealand anyone?
Air New Zealand has an interesting promotion going on. You have to follow them on twitter, get a trivia question correct, and then win a random drawing. Do all that and you get a free flight to New Zealand.
I don't have a twitter account and this isn't enough to make me start one but I wish you all good luck should you choose to play!
And it's not that I'm scared the questions will be too hard:
Q#7 - Which kangaroo crazy country is situated a cozy 1,250 miles across the Tasman Sea from New Zealand's shores? Tweet answer back to @KiWeets

Win three nights in the Turks & Caicos: Ocean Club Resorts
Here's an interesting giveaway for you. The idea is to submit a picture of a lazy day at the beach. Since most lazy days involve the same lack of action, I wonder how these photos get judged or if the winner is selected at random...
Post a photo of your ideal lazy beach day on Ocean Club Resorts' Facebook page and you could win a 3-night stay for two. Entries must be posted on the wall by 10 p.m. EST on Wednesday, November 4, 2009. One of the most popular things to do at Ocean Club is to do nothing at all, so show us your best.
How to win:
1. Become a fan of Ocean Club Resorts' Facebook page. You must be a fan so we can contact you if you are the winner.
2. Post a photo of yourself enjoying your laziest dream beach day by 10 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2009.
3. Spread the word to your friends - they may even bring you along.

Folgers "Home for the Holidays" Contest
Here's the contest. I wonder if expats are allowed to enter - I'm a resident of the US so I meet that qualification but something tells me they only want to spring for domestic airfare... But even if I'm not eligible, I at least hope that military people serving overseas are allowed to enter.
Edit: Expats and service members stationed overseas can not enter. Entrants need to be US residents and traveling from one US state to another (or Washington DC).
Entries are now being accepted for the Folgers "Home for the Holidays" Contest. From September 30, 2009 through November 7, 2009, America can visit www.folgers.com for a chance to win a trip home to celebrate with family. Five winners will receive a seven day, six night trip in December, 2009 for themselves and up to three other guests to travel to their hometown destination within the 48 contiguous United States.
To enter, visitors to the site will be asked to describe what they think is the best part of wakin' up at home during the holidays. Winners will be announced on or about November 11, 2009. Each trip includes round trip airfare, hotel accommodations, a rental car, $1,000 spending money and a Folgers gift basket. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and D.C. 18 years old or older. Void where prohibited. See www.folgers.com for Official Rules and complete details.
