OTTAWA (AFP) - An Argentine tourist got the city name right, but the continent wrong when she booked a vacation to Australia, and found herself in easternmost Canada this week, said local media.
Monique Rozanes Torres Aguero of Buenos Aires had wanted to travel to Sydney, Australia, but ended up instead in the former coal and steel mill town of Sydney, Nova Scotia.

The mix-up, due to inattention while booking flights online, became evident when she boarded a small propeller plane in Halifax that would take her on the last leg of her journey.

"She was taking pictures out the airplane window and said to herself, 'Something is not right,'" local resident Christiane Tanner, who befriended the accidental tourist, told the Cape Breton Post.

I think I would realize when my connecting flight was headed to Halifax that something was probably wrong. I wouldn't have to wait to see the prop plane. But that's just me.

That has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard of.

Wasn't this a subplot on an episode of Newhart? The spoiled rich chick (Stephanie Vanderkellen) and her husband were supposed to go to Monaco for a vacation, but she screwed up the booking and they ended up going to Morocco instead by mistake.

Does it say if she met Matt Millen anywhere along the line???
