Latitude and Longitude

Dear Mr. D,

Hi!! How are you? Here are the answers to your questions.

Longitude City Latitude ----------------------------------------- 1. 80.08W Fort Lauderdale 26.07N 2. 96.48W Dallas 32.47N 3. 111.53W Salt Lake City 40.45N 4. 113.35W St. George 37.06N 5. 112.03W North Rim 36.12N

On a map in Mrs. Weeg's lab we put string and airplanes where you are going to fly and land. That is the answer to the latitude and longitude question.

Here is another answer about what time it is going to be here when you land in Salt Lake City in 11:40am. It will be 1:40pm here. Are you going to be visting other places while at the Grand Canyon?

Why do you travel? (I don't mean to the Grand Canyon) Sorry to keep bugging you about the same thing but are you coming to visit us? If you do are you going to teach us in person? I really hope so. Well, I really hope you enjoy your trip to the Grand Canyon.

Your Key Pal,
Heather

The girls turned the airplane around on our map on Thursday when you began your return trip home.
