Sean buenos ancestros y hereden fortunas, no problemas" [We're off to play golf... we named the yacht's helicopter the HeliMoura so that we don't get confused with all the others who landed on the course to play.
Have a great weekend full of success, and remember, don't let any idiot convince you that you deserve a humble and conformist life... always fight to get ahead and if you don't succeed, think of your grandchildren!!!
