The world’s most famous stout purveyors are upping the ante in travel giveaways; Guinness is celebrating the company’s 250th anniversary with a spate of special events throughout the summer, and instead of just giving away a couple of tickets to Ireland, the Dublin-based brewers are promoting their celebration by offering one lucky winner the chance to hop on board Virgin Galactic.

Guinness has reserved a $200,000 seat on Richard Branson’s private spacecraft, and one lucky drinker will be among the first astro-tourists to ride on the rocketship when it takes off in 2012. Two runners-up will receive more earthly prices—a four-day cruise aboard the Guinness Deep Sea Bar—an underwater adventure around Norway’s Lofoten Islands—and the chance to enjoy an exclusive studio performance from the Black Eyed Peas.

The catch? Well actually, they’re not saying yet. You’ll have to keep an eye on Guinness’ web site for details on how to win. Obviously, we’ll be checking for updates religiously.

DK Eyewitness, king of pretty, giant glossy travel guides, has re-launced their website.

The new site allows for you to make your own travel guide, picking and choosing from destinations and locations, and have the resulting travel mashup guide bound and sent to you via snail mail. Cool.

To kick off their re-launch the company is running a £10,000 dream trip contest.

To enter the competition, simply choose 5 dream destinations. Then follow the instructions to submit your choices in the drawing. YOu will also have to subscribe to the sites newsletter to get a chance at the dream trip.

To get you in the mood for both St. Patrick's Day and the DK Eyewitness contest we have added one of those pretty photos we were talking about above.

Contest ends March 31, 2007. ]]> markj 2007-03-16T15:33:43-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2006/1/11/10143/8747

Beginning January 30, Regis & Kelly are getting together with IgoUgo.com to offer one lucky winner a tricked out travel adventure.

It goes something, like, this:

·Watch Regis & Kelly January 16-20 and jot down the contest clue, or better yet Tivo the yack fest, fast forward through through the jabber making Charlie Brown teacher noises for your own enjoyment--then jot down the contest clue.

·On January 20th enter the five clues at the Regis & Kelly website, and at that time go ahead and plan your customized 6 -night vacation anywhere in the world.

·January 30th through February 24 you must actually watch live, or at least be by the phone, because if your name is chosen, you will receive a phone call where the hopped up morning yackers quiz you on previous shows.

·If you have studied your Tivo episodes to perfection, you can win your fantasy trip, and take up to eleven lucky guests, if some wheel of fortune spins your way.

Did we lose you? Thought so. Go here and try to sort it all out for yourself.
