Ready to Go

The Nothing But Nets team successfully navigated the check-in counter, security and now wait at the gate for our trip to Paris and on to Abidjan. The team is scattered in groupgs and clumps across the waiting area at the gate. Some are sleeping....some talking....some are on the phone. New friendships are developing and the spirit of excitement is overflowing. Flat Stanley is here too. All of us are wearing matching polo shirts with a "Covered With Nets" logo that depicts Cote d'Ivoire covered with a net. .....all of us except Flat Stanley. Poor Flat Stanley! He is the only one without a matching shirt. They did not have one small enough for him. Flat Stanley has found a seat among his new friends and is patiently waiting too. What a great opportunity to meet new friends from Texas and from Cote d'Ivoire. Our flight plan to Paris will take us over Greenland. Flat Stanley knows his geography and points to Greenland on the map below so Mrs. Reed's second grade class will know where it is. It will be dark as we travel over Greenland as will be traveling east into the darkness. Flat Stanley and the team will check back in after we land in Paris. It will be the middle of the night in Houston, but it will be morning in Paris. Most of us are hoping to get some sleep on the plan....... Bye for now.
