As with most, if not all, of my temple trips, it starts with the airfare. This one took me about 80 searches to finally land on it when I was looking around last Sunday afternoon. Frontier airlines flies nonstop from Baltimore to San Juan, Puerto …

It isn’t often that I start off one of these temple trips by commenting about the hotel, but tonight is an exception. I’m in the La Quinta Inn and uites at the Salt Lake City Airport and I’m thrilled to death! I flew from Washington …
