Let's Go ! We left Cholet to Nantes' Airport to meet the students.
3:00 pm the first students are here already.
We handed out documents, ID cards, boarding pass, instructions. We still have an hour left before registering the luggage
Next step Duty free and the customs
Vanessa had forgotten to remove her scissors from her pencil case ! (we had repeated it over and over again: “make sure you have nothing sharp or dangerous in your cabin luggage!” )
That's it, we are on the plane. Stress rises for every students who have never taken the plane before
Shouts, giggles, and 30 minutes later, the landing. Then, we had to find the “ steward “ with a yellow security jacket to let the bus driver know he could come and pick us up.
So I was in charge... I left the airport .. right .. but there were yellow jackets everywhere !
Bus found. let's go for a 2h30 ride!
Arrival at 9:30pm, a family is missing, they are 10 min late... it's cold, but that's it, everybody has found their partners again.
Hugs, cry of joy (students do scream a lot !)
And it's the signal for a week-end with their host families. Here is their program: London or Birmingham, paintball, pizza, party with friends
