Conrad Hotel Lounge -- Tokyo, Japan

Sometimes it's nice to get out of the room and still relax.  This is the Executive Lounge at the Conrad Hotel where we stayed.

There were some other animals waiting for us in the room. You adopt them when you get a room at the hotel.  They seemed nice, but they talked kind of weird.

AA153 First Class Cabin -- Somewhere over the Pacific Ocean

When I went to Japan, I took a First Class seat.  I also took a buddy who wanted an adventure.  His name is Puff.  He does't have a blog, but he does have a small tree.

We sat in a big seat all to ourselves. The blanket was fluffier than what I usually get on a plane.

Puff thinks I always travel like this now.  It's not true.  Most flights I don't want to leave Cromely's pocket.  Planes are sometime icky.

But not this one.  Late at night I even got a snack.  Puff slept through it.  He doesn't like Penguin snacks. I don't know what he eats.

After that it was bedtime.  I had to rest up for my big adventure.

American Airlines Flagship Lounge -- Chicago, IL

Normally, when Cromely and I go to ORD, its loud and crowded and busy and our flight is late.   When we went to Japan, our flight was still late (it was still ORD, of course) but there was a special room for us this time.

There were lots of pretty snacks, but they didn't smell like ice cream.

Family Photo -- Seattle, WA

Before I went to Japan, I wanted a family picture.  It was going to be a long trip a long way away.

Hoover Dam -- Nevada/Arizona

It was hot here, but I didn't go swimming.  Cromely said that water is why Vegas is so bright at night but I'm not sure he know what he's talking about.

Tempe Mission Palms -- Tempe, AZ

Some people say Arizona is really hot.  I don't know.  I thought it was really comfy.

Butchart Gardens -- Victoria, BC

I've been all over the place this year, but it's usually been places I've been before.  Cromely says this trip is different!  We're going to Japan. That's far away.  Cromely says its near where I come from -- a place called China.  I immigrated to the US in a box with lots of other Penguins.  But I don't remember anything from the years BC (before Cromely).

But I just remembered I never showed you this!  When we went to Canada (which is different like Japan, but not really) I made a friend.  He wasn't real soft and didn't say much, but we had a good time.  This was at Butchart Gardens.  We saw lots of flowers, too.
