100 Miles , An Indian Odyssey

http://www.100milesodyssey.com

 

We at 100 Miles are a bunch of nomads. We = Vidyut Dutta(Vidyut), Milan Dey (Milan), and Soumitra Choudhury (Khokon) have traveled extensively on Indian roads, as avid lovers of the outdoors. In our trips we have gone through the hills, the beaches, the forests, the deserts, the cities and the villages. We have also taken the road less traveled and have stories to tell. On our trips, we have taken in, in liberal measure,the feel of each place,through its people,the

Midnight Sun in Lapland

midnight sun Lapland

 

There’s little that can quite prepare you for your first time standing outside at midnight in broad daylight. The sun staying just above the horizon casts beautiful pinks and golds over the sky and lake, and the world around you is completely silent except for birdsong. It’s a magical time of year.

The video below was taken on 8th June,  as we get closer to summer solstice (June 21st) the sun will stay higher in the sky throughout the night.

Turn your speakers up to hear the bird song - and very

Jamaica Travel Tips, Part 3

Clothes

We advise rather than picking out a few things in your wardrobe, to think outfits –beyond the beach there are plenty of occasions when you will need more than a swimsuit including dinner at Mille Fleurs. For a 2-week holiday think of those occasions and prepare 4 outfits around them. Try to choose cotton and linen where possible which are comfortable and quick drying and allow the skin to breathe, in humid conditions jeans do end up feeling like you are wearing a weight as well as socks t

Are You Flying a Mean Airline? 

It’s great that the airlines made money last year, all except American Airlines that is.

And according the recently released 2011 Airline Quality Rating (AQR) report, the experience of flying has improved too.

The AQR  is a touted as a “premier statistical study of major airline performances in the United States” conducted by a Wichita State and Purdue University professor.

Still, outrageous baggage fees, elimination of food and other creature comforts, numerous add-

A Trip to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

9008627857?profile=originalI am in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, visiting a deciding battleground in the U.S. Civil War. In 2013 comes the Sesquicentennial of the 1863 battle and its outcome largely decided if our "perpetual union" would survive.

I resist retelling the details of a battle that is documented elsewhere. Instead, I will concentrate on how to entertain a family while taking them to a historical destination.

What is it about this place that draws people? I think the answer is that the Civil War is about good versus

Have you ever been in a city on the verge of winning something really big? I've found myself in this position several times now. The first was almost 20 years ago, when the Toronto Blue Jays won baseball's World Series. The second was last winter, when Canada beat the U.S. in the Gold Medal round of Olympic Hockey. And the third is happening right now, as the Vancouver Canucks vie to win hockey's Stanley Cup Finals. photo
