Towards better accommodation and catering

2009-09-04T05:06:13Z

Better accommodation and world class catering facilities is one of the most important segments of the tourist services that is urgently needed at the prominent tourist destinations in Kerala. The various types of accommodation facilities used by the tourists are hotels, supplementary accommodation, staying with friends and relatives and other private accommodation or their own using means like caravans and tents.

In Kerala backwaters are now emerging as a new destination for leisure and exploration. Almost all the backwaters in Kerala from Ernakulam district in central Kerala to Kollam district in the south now teem with scores of houseboats of all shapes and sizes. Popularly known as ‘kettuvallams’, these boats are built without using nails. These houseboats have been aesthetically designed to reflect the architectural patterns of the traditional houses in Kerala.

If you walk into these houseboats crisscrossing the backwaters, you will be amazed to see the amenities on offer. Almost all the houseboats boast of air-conditioned suites. The single and double room suites offer enough space to move around and witness the amazing flora and fauna as they unfold as the houseboat moves lazily along the long backwaters. Not only that some houseboats even allow sunbathing atop on the roof. Not only that you can get a better view of the surroundings and give no rest to your camera lens.

Kumarakom, the prominent tourist center in the backwaters is home to migratory birds from across different continents. The backwaters around Kumarakom now teem with more than 200 houseboats. Thanks to the sincere efforts of the prominent investors, Kumarakom now has much to offer to the tourist and that too at affordable prices. The world class facilities on offer at Kumarakom has now helped it to find a prominent place in the world tourist map, very similar to the place gained by the houseboats in Venice, the waterways in Thailand and the Dal lake in Srinagar in Kashmir. Efforts are now being made to keep the backwaters clean through the incorporation of proper waste management facilities in all the houseboats.

IRL Freqs.

I found this list in May. I suspect some are not correct.

I will be going to my first IRL race ever at Richmond in two weeks.

Wondering if IRL fans that know could compare what I have and what worked for them, and when was the last time you listened to them on that frequency. (Really hoping for help from Texas and Iowa IRL fans most of all.

Scanner Frequencies

2008-06-16T08:53:33Z

Is there anywhere I can get scanner frequencies for the trucks and nationwide teams? I am going to both races in Milwaukee this coming weekend and would like to program my scanner before I get to the track. Thanks!

Nascar frequencies numbers

I am going to the atlanta race this sunday 10/28 what is dale jr’s and Tony’s frequencies number’s for my personnel scanner? chad.dale@merial.com

MRN radio

When you go to the races make sure you program in their frequency. Not only will it keep you updated on the race the chatter between the reporters during the breaks is some of the funniest stuff I have heard in years. These guys are brutal, on each other and the drivers. The frequency is usually in the program or the local paper on race day. Well worth the effort to program it in.

Alternative to full-size scanner

2007-02-05T16:13:39Z

---no, this is not an ad--- i am simply an SCCA corner worker---

I was able to borrow one of these for a couple of sessions at last year’s Runoffs (thanks Duck Waddle!) and will most likely have one in my back before the first car hits the track this year.

It uses standard headphone & ear piece plugs, so even iPod ear buds will work. It was VERY NICE to not have the weight of a full-size scanner hanging on me.

Rentals at the Track

2007-02-19T15:09:54Z

I have allways rented from TrackScan b/c there freqs seem to be more accurate. This applied in both Nascar and Cart races I have gone to. The Racing Electronics freqs were wrong allot of the time. Just my exp.
