Luxury Air Charters
A New Form of Luxury Transforms the Sky Offering Personalized Service and Sophistication
By Kellie K. Speed
 Imagine
being able to sit back and relax, have a few drinks, and comfortably stretch out
in leather seats while dining on “real” food. Obviously, the cost of
a private charter plane is much more expensive than flying commercial, but there
are numerous benefits that come with this investment. Having the opportunity to
request a plane when you want and where you want without the hassles of large crowds
and long lines has become priceless. Chartering a private jet provides not only
greater efficiency but also enables you to travel to more destinations without the
pain of connections or layovers.

A Look at Cuervo Y Sobrinos Watches
There’s Always Time for Elegance
By Neil K. MacMillan
 If Time
in the Caribbean moves at a pace unlike anywhere else in the world, and timepieces
from Cuervo Y Sobrinos, which were born on the island of Cuba and are now made in
Switzerland, are unlike those found anywhere else. They are indeed of a quality
second to none.
Established in 1882 the upscale jewelry boutique and watch manufacturer was a mainstay
of Havana’s Quinta Avenida. Under Armando Rio Y Cuervo, the family business
flourished by providing a product of superior quality and style. Renowned for their
functionality and elegance, Cuervo Y Sobrinos watches were bought by the rich and
famous, with the company guest book reading like a virtual who’s-who of the
early 20th century: Ernest Hemingway, Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein, to
name but a very recognizable few.

Shipshape Living ... Wherever You Go
Magellan offers five-star residences at sea
By Matt Robinson
 Ever
dream of traveling the world, but you didn’t really want to leave home? Well,
why not have both? Set to launch in 2010, Magellan is an 860-foot long, 106-foot
wide, 15 deck, $750,000,000 ultra-luxury cruise ship that was devised by Arizona
real estate developer, yacht dealer and former commercial and military pilot Randall
B. Jackson, CEO and President of Residential Cruise Line. He was inspired to build
the world’s largest and most luxurious residential cruise ship while traveling
through the Straits of Magellan. “I envisioned the need for the Magellan during
a cruise with my wife and two daughters,” Jackson says. “After traveling
for years on cramped, crowded cruise ships, I realized that there was a need for
a better way of traveling — a better way of living.”

A Taste of Elegance
Caviar
Bi Neil MacMillan
 Elegance is a matter of taste.
Caviar conjures images of swank penthouse parties where svelte ladies in slinky
black dresses sip champagne and dance with financiers or possibly spies. Why does
it have the mystique it does? Caviar is considered a Russian delicacy; the expensive
hors d’ oeuvre, a kilo of beluga caviar can cost as much as $5,000. But what
is caviar? Fish roe, simply, most usually the eggs of sturgeon that have been sieved
and salted. Caviar is extremely perishable and is refrigerated immediately after
the roe is harvested.
