alumni and friends of Ricks College
and BYU-Idaho.
The
first tour is scheduled to depart for Mexico

the lands associated with the Book of Mormon, including the Mayan, Incan
and Aztec cultures. Newly appointed associate academic vice president Roy
Huff will host the alumni on the tour.
While
most of the spots for the South America tour are
filled and the departure date is quickly approaching, there is still room
for the Hawaii tour, which
leaves Aug. 13 and returns Aug 23. The tropical trip includes an overnight
stay at Turtle Bay Resort and port stops in Kauai, Hilo,
Kona and Maui. The group
will visit the Polynesian Cultural
Center, Hawaii
LDS Temple
and Pearl Harbor. Pricing includes round trip air
from Salt Lake City,
accommodations and site entrance fees.
Jodi
Harris of the Alumni Office says that the goal is to create a unique
environment on the tours.
“Our
goal as an Alumni and Friends Travel Club is to provide a variety of small
affordable tours that ensure LDS standards, including Sunday
worship,” she says. “Whether you are exploring South
America or enjoying a relaxing cruise in Hawaii,
you’ll be able to enjoy the company of alumni and friends of the
Alumni Association.”
