             My first grandchild, two-month-old baby, Hannah-chan comes back to her mothers’ home on ANA fleight 848 from Bangkok. 
            This is her first trip on a plane of international airline. 
             
             I went to Haneda Airport to pick them up with my wife. 
            I would imagine that it's troublesome for my daughter to return home temporarily
            with 
            her baby. 
            So today my mission is to carry her baggage. 
             
             Although we were caught in a traffic jam due to the car accident around
            Koyasu on 
            Kanagawa Route 1 Yokohane Line on the way, we finally arrived at the airport 20 
            minutes ahead of time. 
            The arrival information board displayed that ANA flight 848 is during landing. 
            It was good timing on our part. 
             
             Hannah-chan don't come out in the arrival lobby even 45 minutes after
            it's arrival. 
            We imagined that it would take time for my daughter to change her diaper. 
            After about an hour, she came out in the baby buggy pushed by an ANA's
            cabin 
            attendant with her mother. 
             
             I had one thing to worry about Hannah's air trip. 
            It's her earache due to change in atomospheric pressure while taking-off
            and landing. 
             
             However, she came out with a happy look as if it happened to someone else. 
            I was relieved to see it. 
            I'm afraid that I can't show you her picture because I forgot to bring
            my digital camera 
            with me. 
             
             According to my daughter, the dry-season got started and got a little
            bit cool in 
            Bangkok, but the temperature in the day time still reaches around 30 degrees
            Celsius. 
            A temperature difference between Bangkok and Yokohama is about 20 ℃. 
            We took countermeasures against the cold for her. 
            We have a heavy responsibility to prevent her from catching the flu. 
             
             Hannah-chan has a big appetite. 
            She often drink enough breast milk. 
            She grows up to be about 5 kilograms in weigh. 
            The following are Hannah-chan's recent pictures.
