Richard Branson - Cabarete

[beeza]

Well if anyone bumps into him, please subtly suggest that we need Virgin Atlantic to start a daily LHR-POP-LHR route please?

We can all live in hope!

Oh and whilst you're at it, suggest that any expat with a Dominican cedula gets half price fares and automatic upgrades to first class!

I met Richard Branson in Cabarete in 1997 and hear he is coming here every year. Didn't help much...

Branson is a good guy and an interesting popular personality. Hes likely staying in Sosua and only visiting in Cabarete for the kite surfing.

Do they have motoconcho paparazzi in the DR?

Moderator, let's merge this thread with the thread about UFOs over Sosua. Ok?

I have had the pleasure of meeting him and attending various events where he has been a guest- he is very close friends with my boss. I have to tell you that he is quite charming, extremely intelligent and loves to have a good time! He loves time spent in the DR!
In my humble opinion- he is exactly the type of visitor the DR needs!

It IS an island...

I would tend to agree but he did not shower us with Yellow Lemons for Tea Time!

The under water scooter looks good and I would split that trip...any takers?

Somebody should tell him, he's wearing that accessory wrong. It/SHE should be worn on the front, not the back. Does he wear his baseball cap backwards too??? LOL

Billionaire Branson founded Virgin Airlines and Virgin Records. He's not the richest guy in the world, but he knows how to have fun with his money. He has some interesting accessories for kite-boarding:

If you've ever read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe, he's kind of a real life Zaphod Beeblebrox. He's just this guy, you know?

One of his first big money makers was he got the rights to the "Tubular Bells" track from The Exorcist. That put Virgin Records on the map, then there was this little singer called Madonna...

 

[CaptnGlenn]

The OPERATIVE word there is "YET". LOL

Except that Branson has not made public a sex tape yet...

Eeeeuuuu!

 

[joseafer]

IMO, these guys who float to the top are NOT idiots...... Jerks just don't make it - Frank Stronach excepted.. most of the time.

The rest of the world sits on DR1 and posts about it :-(( -- Me included
