It's a beautiful day today, a typical, mild autumn day with a cool, dry breeze. Mom has kept all the windows open all day to freshen the air. My cat sneaked outside to sunbathe, creating a warm scene like one of those cat posters. Later, Mom and I decided to book ferry tickets to Hong Kong as part of our trip to Japan. It will take longer, but it will be more fun and less crowded. I'm really looking forward to our trip.
