This morning we have breakfast, and then a presentation from a program alumnus about using our Saudi Arabian experience in our classrooms and school. Then it will be time to pack and get checked out of our hotel to head to the airport. We are flying out of George Bush Intercontinental Airport here in Houston on Lufthansa flight 441 at 4:30 PM (5:30 PM EST) to arrive in Frankfurt, Germany at 9:05 AM (3:05 AM EST) on Friday. (Students, how long is that flight?) We then board another plane at 12:50 PM (6:50 AM EST) to fly from Frankfurt, Germany to Dammam, Saudi Arabia on Lufthansa flight 628 to arrive at 9:45 PM (1:45 PM EST). We actually land in Kuwait City, Kuwait for a short time during the Frankfurt to Dammam flight. So, if all goes well I should be in transit from 5:30 PM EST on Thursday until 1:45 PM EST on Friday. Students: How much total travel time is that? Try out your elapsed time skills!
If you are interested, you can probably track my flights online using various flight trackers. One is at this site. Just select the airline (Lufthansa) and the flight number (either 441 or 628). I hope to post again when I reach Saudi Arabia.

Dear, Mr Heiden
we started reading the green book today. It is a really good book. But you are right. It sounds boring but it is not.
From Adam
Dear Mr.Heiden,
We Had P.E today. And I hung up the stockings today. And the book The Green Book is good so far but it doesn`t have any thig to do with a book. I just finshed my last thing for my spelling contract. Let me gess, you are on the plane right now? By the way` when will you call us? Tell me when you land in Saudi Arabia.

Dear Mr. H,
Have a gr8 time. Today in science we made a poster that shows what is happening in a paragraph that Mrs. Emmons assigned us. I am paired up with Adam and I thought that we did a good job on that. Mrs. Emmons is nice but we all still miss you. Hope you have a great time and remember to send lots of pictures of food and stuff like that.
From the best student ever,
Jackson

Dear Mr.Heiden
When will I work the book store with some other kids to? Is the food on plane good?
Sincerely,

So, you want to know why it is bumpy, ey? Well there are air waves depending on where you are in the world. The elevation and power are determined by revolts ( which are swirling areas of air when you're in the upper part of the air waves). That almost causes zero gravity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
