Large portions of the cities of Chicago and Indianapolis will be on the move this weekend, along with scores of other Americans, traveling to Miami to watch the Bears face off against the Colts in Super Bowl XLI. Needless to say, airfares are through-the-roof from either of the competing cities, check out today’s episode of The Map for the full story. There are still hotel rooms to be had, though, if you have another way to hie yourself to Florida before Sunday. Hotel Chatter has been running for play-by-play of the latest Miami room rates all week – as of this morning there were still rooms for $199 at the Summerfield Suites, only 19 miles from the stadium.

Americans overseas face a different challenge: in most other places in the world “Football” means the World-Cup variety, and the locals can’t be bothered to watch or screen the NFL version. Expat Yanks with broadband access, can always watch the game online –PC World has the lowdown on how to find streaming coverage–as long as they’re willing orient their Sunday night/Monday morning schedule around the kickoff time. But if it just won’t feel like the Super Bowl if you’re not in a sports bar with a brew in hand and a crowd of other screaming Americans, here’s a list of links to expat bars and parties around the world:
