Words from our loyal advertising partners

“Altier Jewelers, with the distinction of being the oldest established jewelry store in Boca Raton, has used a variety of media to promote business. Now run by a third-generation owner, our family continues to be very selective in making advertising choices. Our advertising plan included billboards and multiple pages in five lifestyle magazines. The Boca Raton Observer has generated more business for us than the other media combined. We are tremendously pleased!”

“We have been in business in Boca for over 35 years and fortunately have built a very extensive clientele. However, when our ad appears in The Boca Raton Observer, we usually get an immediate response, often resulting in the acquisition of a new client. The Observer has become an important contributing factor to our continuing success.” Bill Jacob, Owner, Reid Travel

“I was very reluctant to consider advertising as a viable vehicle for my type of business, particularly magazines. I agreed to try The Boca Raton Observer and I am amazed by the results. Not only do I receive a measurable response to my ads, but also receive qualified leads. Almost every response has been converted to a new client. I am definitely a believer now!”

ENTREPRENEUR, PRODUCER, MUSICIAN AND FAMILY GUY EMILIO ESTEFAN IS LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM TEXT BY EMILY J. MINOR PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESUS CORDERO

He has a joyful family life, replete with wealth and influence and solicitude. “I am living the American dream,” says Cuban-born Estefan, a man with a résumé practically as long as Ocean Drive. “I wake up every day happy.” Yes, Mr. Gloria Estefan—he’s heard that one before, believe us—is one bouncy, energetic, smiling guy. And why not? He starts each day immediately buoyed by the reality that he escaped Cuba as a kid. His son, daughter-in-law and (“perfect”) grandson live inside the family compound on Miami Beach’s picturesque Star Island. “When (my grandson) says ‘I love you,’ I melt,” he says. Even though his accomplishments are all over the map—en-

Engaging content for an educated, affluent and experienced reader

trepreneur, restaurant owner, hotelier, producer, musician—Estefan pretty much starts each work day the same way. He wakes, kisses his amazing wife (who’s won myriad Grammys, by the way), smiles at the same housekeeper he’s had for 30 years, does a few shots of espresso and pedals his bike to the restaurants and hotels the couple owns in Miami and Miami Beach. Passersby always call out to him. “I think they must recognize me from my ass,” he says, laughing, showing off that infectious Estefan humor. “How else could they know me? I am wearing a helmet.”

CYCLE OF LIFE Like so many of Miami’s CubanAmericans, it is Estefan’s past that makes his present so outstanding. His boyhood days in Cuba are what dictate what he does and for whom. He loves being just a regular guy, talking to people on his morning ride, giving them a high

for a trip through its lush oasis of date palms. The next day you’ll hop into your 4x4 for a rousing ride in the sand dunes before climbing back on your camel for a trip across the desert, followed by a night camping under the stars. Day eight ends your four-legged transportation and it’s back to your 4x4 for a ride to awe-inspiring Todra Gorge, a mountain featuring a deep slice in its center with walls towering nearly 1,000 feet, where a river rushes through. The hiking continues on Day 10, where you’ll make your way through the Valley of the Roses with a stop for lunch with an indigenous Berber family, whose ancestors have lived in the region for thousands of years (imagine the stories they’ll tell). The High Atlas Mountains and Ounila Valley are last on the agenda, before continuing on to Marrakech for the final day. There you can visit the Koutoubia Mosque, Saadian Tombs and Bahia Palace before enjoying a farewell dinner. When you say goodbye to new friends and traveling companions, it may be the perfect opportunity to say, “Here’s looking at you, kid.” Costs for the trip start at $5,195 per person based on double occupancy.

Prepare for the trip of a lifetime where domesticated dromedaries and 4x4s are the preferred modes of transport when you’re not hiking by foot through exotic Morocco. Accommodations include “spacious” tents for two nights or Morroco-style hotels. Your trek begins in Casablanca with a welcome dinner at the four-star Hotel Novotel Casablanca. The next morning, it’s off to the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world, for a tour of architectural treasures led by a local guide. Stop in Morocco’s 17th century capital of Meknes, where you’ll visit ancient mausoleums and delve into the Roman ruins of Volubilis, before heading off to Fez, the oldest of Morocco’s four imperial cities. On day five the camels get a break— and your hiking boots get broken in.

five, asking how they’re doing. And he really cares. Not too long ago, Estefan bought a guy a bike because his went missing and he didn’t have money for a new one. Plus, Estefan enjoyed riding in the park with the man, a retiree on a fixed income. On Estefan’s sometimes breezy commute to work, he often sees the same faces. If he doesn’t whiz by at his appointed time, the local shop owners know he’s probably out of town. Sometimes for business. Sometimes, pleasure. “You won’t believe this,” says Estefan, talking in that fast, clipped voice his staff warned me about. (“Get ready,” said an assistant, “he talks fast.”) “The same homeless people wait for me every morning,” he says. “They tell me everything that’s happening in town. I talk to them; I look at them. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a difference to someone.” Though Estefan and his wife do the big things, too. Since marrying the former Gloria

ust minutes after his nationally televised ABC morning show, “Live With Kelly and Michael,” ends for the day, Michael Strahan is behind the scenes of the famous New York City set, sipping his favorite green protein smoothie and chatting on the phone with a writer like they’re old pals. Strahan is just as cordial off camera (and via phone) as he is in front of one, which is why millions of viewers tune in to him every day. This likable football star who’s been described by many as a gentle giant (he’s 6’5 and weighs 240 pounds) quips about how envious he is that South Floridians can bask in the sun while people up north freeze.

But that’s not the only reason he loves it here. “You’ve got to be in shape to live in South Florida,” says the retired NFL defensive end for the New York Giants. “There are too many opportunities to walk around without a shirt on. The weather makes you want to be healthy. It encourages you to have an active lifestyle.” Hence, the smoothie. It includes

spinach, kale and almond milk and he drinks one every day after he’s finished taping the show. It might not sound appetizing but Strahan promises it tastes good. As he’s gotten older, the 42-year-old has traded in junk food for fresh, healthy fare and while he’s not as active as when he was on the field, he makes it a priority to work out for an hour a day, five days a week. “It’s a great way to relieve stress and tension and it makes you look good,” says Strahan. “When I retired, my back was aching and my shoulders hurt. But for a body that’s been in the NFL for 15 years, I need to keep moving. Now I feel like I’m 25 years old again.” JANUARY 2014
