Flight Between Matsuyama and Sapporo

     I read a shocking news item in the newspaper this morning. ANA regular flights between Matsuyama and Sapporo will be discontinued next March. As I wrote in August, my youngest daughter is eager to enter Hokkaido University in Sapporo City and I allowed her to do so. It's because Sapporo is not so far from here by airplane.
     When there's no direct flight, however, I have to change planes at least once in Tokyo or Osaka. I'm afraid It will take 3 more hours to reach Sapporo.
