Falcon 115 - Viridiana Barahona

Falcon 115

The 115 is the flagship of this Italian yacht builder and as such, makes an interesting offer since it represents the company’s entry into the range of yachts of more than 100 feet in length, even though they already have a model exactly 100 feet long. Another of the yacht’s strengths is the personalization of all of its components, which is something that Falcon Yachts offers to distinguished clients tempted by its beauty.

Diving With the Aroma of Mexico - Alberto Friscione Carrascosa

Diving With the Aroma of Mexico

When the first rays of spring sunshine began to light up the Isla de Sacrificios, my dear friend and diving companion Manuel “Dorado” Victoria and I were enjoying a tasty Veracruz-style breakfast in a well-known restaurant on the sea front. Breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs and beans, and of course a famous milky coffee with sweet bread and golden breadsticks.

V Gulfstream

When Tiger Woods made his debut as a golf professional with millions of dollars in his pocket from his sponsors, the first thing he acquired as part of his work team was a Gulfstream V jet.  That was in 1996, but like everything, technology has evolved, as have Woods’ game and clubs– and the Gulfstream Company has moved with the times by offering the new G150 model, which changes the concept of the mid-size business jet.
