Book of Mormon Tour
On June 18 ,201o we were to begin a tour of Book of Mormon lands with John Lund and his wife Bonnie. At our departure time, Delta cancelled the flight because of an oil leak, which left 61 people stranded at the Salt Lake air port. The president of Fun For Less went to work and reschuled all of us for flights to any where that could get us to Mexico city. We ended up flying to Dallas Tx. on American air lines. After a free nite in the Dallas Hilton we finally flew to Mexico city, just one day late and all our baggage lost at the Mexico city airport.
From Mexico city we flew to Villahermosa, then by bus to Palenque, to Usumacinta River and into Guatemala at Tikal. Next to Rio Dulee and Amitque Bay. We then crossed into Hondorus and the city of Copan. Then back to Guatemala City where we spent the nite after a visit to the Guatemala City temple. Our last travel day was to Kaminal Juyu and Lake Atitlan or the Waters of Mormon. A heavy rain stopped us at the half way point so we turned around and visited another city. With just one day of rain and sunshine as we visited all the ruins, it was a very sucessful trip. Garth and Maydene lost their baggage twice twice but in the end we arrived back in Salt Lake in fine condition.
