      Glad to hear they’ve found a way to get home. Will be even happier when you post they’ve arrived.

        Gee and I thought I've had travel delays. Best of luck to you both. The earlier shots looked great, so hopefully it was all worth it, Which I'm sure it was. Safe travels…

            Thanks for the update @Madame Buttonfly !  I'm glad to hear they were able to get a flight.  I hope everything goes smoothly.

            My heart goes out to all of our Japanese bretheren.  More than their fair share of scary weather this year.

              Plan now is that we catch a Shinkansen to Nagoya, and fly out tomorrow.  We're going to make the best of it, Haraki will pop down from Tokyo and we will have a meal with him and Ken to discuss business - saves me/us going to LA again in near future…...

                So…....Worked out how to get to Nagoya.  Walked to the local station - shut.  No taxi's.  Back at the hotel waiting for the shuttle bus to nearest open station.....

                          Quite an adventure.  Hope all goes well and you get a speedy(ish) return.

                              We are in the lounge awaiting our flight to Helsinki.  Because the typhoon was an "Act of God", we will not be able to claim for hotels etc.  But we will get reimbursed for our travel from Osaka to Nagoya….

                                  mm i'm not too sure about that. All travel insurance cover natural disasters or "act of god" and the payout depends on the level of cover. i've just gone into my product disclosure statement (PDS) under RAC travel insurance  and it says under emergency enpenses that it covers "Cover for emergency Additional Accommodation, Meal and Travelling Expenses if Your Trip is disrupted due to a natural disaster, serious weather event or even lost passports."

                                  You might wanna go over the fine print and see where you can claim from..

                                  i was able to claim mine back in 2009 for damages to personal belongings etc. we did not have any delay at that time so that didn't need any claiming.
