It didn't take much convincing, but Troy did have to sell me on flying with Virgin Atlantic to London and then onto Delhi. There were other planes that had direct routes from New York City, but they were more expensive because of this.

Who’s excited about the arts in Orlando? This Media Nerd.

Scarborough is the leading data compiler of consumer habits and profiles. They interview thousands of people every year in order to build the most interesting correlations of data I've found.
