Hawaii Vacation We just got back from a week-long holiday in Honolulu, the perfect antidote to Tokyo. The trip was planned so that Nico (nearly five months old) could meet my mother, her grandmother. Mom is getting old, so it's easier for us to convene in Hawaii, rather than her coming all the way to Japan. 少し早い夏休みを取ってオアフ島に行ってきました。 ニコにとっては初めてアメリカのおばあちゃんやおじさんに会う、とてもメモリアルな旅となりました。  Nico's first plain ride. (She was a doll the whole flight) 初めての飛行機の中。フライト前は心配していましたが、案外いい子にしていました。ほっ。  Mom meeting Nico for the first time- おばあちゃんに始めたあったときの様子。  -and my brother, Gus. おじさん（ロスのお兄さん）。  Nico, Hawaiian-style. ハワイ満喫の様子。  Nico's first swim. 初めての海ー！  Hula girls! フラガール！ And a few other pictures: その他楽しいひとときを過ごしました☆：      |
