I'm afraid of American Airlines
By "afraid" I actually mean I hate American Airlines. You'd hate them too if your flight to Chicago was cancelled and led you to miss your Japan Air flight to Tokyo. I did make my Tokyo to Hong Kong flight thankfully, but only after a Tokyo Narita employee guided me and four other passengers through the airport. There was running and cursing (in my head) and it all felt very Amazing Race, except at the end of the long day there was no hope for $1 million, just the bad news that they (AA) lost/left my luggage somewhere in between Toronto and Tokyo.
So, thanks to my incompetent airline, I'm wearing the same clothes today as I did during my 30 hours of travelling. Somehow, I've managed to fight off jetlag and adapted to the time changes. The scary moment of the day was when I tried to cross the street. In Hong Kong, because there are so many pedestrians, there are often underground cross-overs at large intersections. I forgot about that and almost killed myself trying to get to the bus stop. Thankfully, I've made it to work.
So hello everyone back home, I've made it to Hong Kong in one piece. I'll send you all e-mails with my contact information very soon. By that, I mean as soon as I remember what my phone number is. I love you and miss you all very much.
*LOVE*

Despite the cancelled flight and lost luggage (sounds like a terrible trip), I'm glad to hear you arrived safe. :)

That seems to be a common theme with the Toronto airport, not just American Airlines.
