This morning Flat Stanley joined the Nothing But Team to Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa. Some of you may have met Flat Stanley. He comes to us from Mrs. "Reed's Rascals" second grade class at Ferguson Elementary in League City. The class is currently engaged in a unit on math and globe skills. During the unit Flat Stanley has traveled across the world. He is the smallest and thinnest member of our team and will travel in the carry on baggage of Will Reed, husband of Karen Reed, the teacher of Reed's Rascals. Today, he will travel from the Reed home to Houston's Interncontinental Airport and board an Air France jet to Paris later this afternoon. Flat Stanley hopes to get some sleep on the plane, because when the plane arrives in France, it will be morning. Then he will explore the airport in Paris in an effort to meet some new friends and practice some of the French he has been learning in preparation for the continuation of the trip to Cote d'Ivoire. Flat Stanley will explore the map of the Paris Airport before getting off the plane. (See the link to the map on the left). The team will arrive on Air France flight 33 at Terminal E and then leave for Abidjan out of Terminal C. The trip to Paris is 9 1/2 hours. Then there will be a five hour layover in Paris. The flight to Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire will last another six+ hours. Flat Stanley and the Nothing But Nets team should arrive by 6:45 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday), which will be 12:45 p.m. Houston time. Please keep Flat Stanley and the team in your prayers.
