The worst Summer vacation ever?

Poor Emma and Raoul. After booking their flight to Sydney through an online travel agent, Raoul stepped off the plane with Speedo in hand. Ready to hit the beach for some fun and sun, the two are instead "enjoying looking at the pick-up trucks, and eating the local lobster". Puzzled, eh? Unfortunately that's about all there is to do in Sydney, Nova Scotia. That's right, the online travel service booked Emma and Raoul for a trip to Nova Scotia and not Australia. Ouch! You have to give these kids credit though as they are making the best of it. To read more about the adventures of Emma and Raoul, click here for the BBC News article.

what's cookin', good lookin'? said...

Not quite as dramatic, but my sister-in-law booked a trip to San Jose... thinking she'd be enjoying Costa Rica. At least until she realized her plane was going to San Jose, Puerto Rico. At least it's still tropical.

On the bright side it's much better than thinking you are going to either Costa Rica or Puerto Rico only to discover you are in Silicon Valley.
