The former First Couple were seen having lunch with Billionaire Virgin Islander Sir Richard C.N. Branson and others at Cow Wreck Bar and Grill today, January 31, 2017.
The Obamas landed at the Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport, Beef Island on January 23, 2017 via a private jet belonging to Mr Branson, a story first and accurately reported by this news site.
Mr Obama and wife chose the British Virgin Islands to spend their vacation after leaving the White House after some 8 years at the helm.
The couple is staying at Moskito Island and not Necker Island as being reported by some local, regional and international press.
Following protests across the United States following President Donald J. Trump's executive order to ban citizens from seven majority-Muslim countries, as well as refugees from across the globe from entering the United States, Mr Obama weighed in on the matter on Monday January 30, 2017 in a statement through his spokesman.
Mr Obama encouraged Americans to publicly protest President Trump's highly controversial move.

Let's face it, Tola is a dump....
She and her family should always be welcomed as this is her home!
Say what you all want Nature's little secret no longer a secret. I loved my secret for years. Anegada and my guinea corn and corn fish. It would be good if they come to tola but Jost Van Dyke is also relaxing. Love my land. Hold down the squabble.
