hey guys learnt this one a while back
the virgin reps ( and i expect others) have meetings where you can organise trips and buy phone cards to call home etc
watch out here, as the phone cards they sell give a handfull of minutes for $10 , try to find a grocery store or seven eleven and you get several hours of us-uk talktime from a $10 phone card
you may also find the hotel desk clerk can organise day trips and offer their own advice on whats worth doing localy, as often the reps get kick backs from sending a bus full of tourist to a toursit trap type place
so ask a local..and dont just assume the rep is going to do whats best:T
