Greetings!
If you are truly interested in viewing the Temple and find yourselves at odds upon transportation may I suggest an old 'shamanic' method?
This is a loose framework/guide...you may find an easier or better suited way.

Find yourself a spot where you can be alone without fear of disturbance. Make yourself comfortable. If you can, you may burn alittle incense though this is not necessary! Relax, close your eyes. I find that brilliant sun is not conducive to mental traveling...but you must discover what works for you. Imagine (this is the important step) the Temple sigil as clearly as you can. I like to induce a light trance at this stage. A favored method would be to imagine this sigil as something embossed or painted on a big door. Once you have fixed the sigil in your minds eye, then slowly open the door and step through, onto a path in the jungle (or some sort of path). Note your surroundings. Walk down the path until you come to the Temple clearing. You are at the foot of the pyramid. Note wether or not it is night or day, the sky and the surrounding environment. Climb the pyramid steps until you reach the top. Note again your surroundings. You may continue at this point or, what I recommend for beginners, is to turn around and go back...the way you came...taking time to note your surroundings. go back to the door, step through and CLOSE the door.
Open your eyes, stretch, eat alittle or drink something. Do something totally mundane. Make a log of your journey, try to remember what your minds eye saw and make a note in your journal. If you meet any animals or people whilst journeying, take notes and deal with them on your second journey.
Note: Whilst you are enroute and during this journey, you will be safe from harm though if you wish to pack some protection, go for it. Make close note of any animal that presents itself to you in at least three separate instances/views...they may be a power animal. If you find yourself in a frightening situation or in danger, wake yourself up! This is a form of shamanic journey that is quick and somewhat fool proof. It is a form of mental travel and guided trance pathworking. Happy Trails!
Most Shamanic methods don't involve alot of props and are therefore handy when it comes to strict parents. Journeying is usually accompanied by drum beats and/or rattling. This is not mandatory!
