That amount, plus phone fees and the cost (including photos) of a new passport, would IMO be reasonable in addition to a refund of tickets for OP and spouse. Since there were personal activities undertaken (successfully) in SLC, the OP should pay for the hotel there and costs of getting to/from airports in SLC and at home, including airport parking expenses.
There may have been some career advantages of participating in events at CUN but these lost opportunites can't/won't be compensated.
Hotel fees 749.00 a person. All inclusive.
The phone bill was sent and screen shots were taken and sent away. They only wanted to pay half of the charges. And it's not like we were on FACEBOOK or wasting data. Most of the calls were to Family, my wife, and the U.S consulates in MEXICO CITY (Friend of the family) and CANCUN
