So Far, Not So Bon Voyage

Well, so far the trip hasn't started out all that well. American Airlines had equipment troubles in DFW and couldn't get their acts together enough to tell us when we would take off (its much easier to just make people sit on the plane) and so I missed my connection in Narita.
I'm now in the Hotel Nikko Narita trying to Skype with the travel agents to get everything back in order with my reservations - but of course my hotels down the line all have a 24 hour cancellation fee. What are the chances that American will pick up the tab for that do you think? I'm guessing approaching zero from the negative side... Gumble grumble grumble
At least in their defense, AA has put us all up in a hotel (I'm guessing a half of a 777's worth of people) and after only minor arguing has booked me straight on to KL tomorrow (instead of a crazy flight to HCMC with a less than two hour layover and then on to KL). At least I have a bed to sleep in tonight.
