Reminds me of the time I ended up in Berlin, NH instead of Berlin, Germany. I was wondering why everybody around me was speaking perfect English. At least the beer was still good so I decided to stay and make the best of things. But I was out of place with my sandals and socks (I was told that this is what they normally wear in Germany.)

I thought for sure from the headline that this article would be about someone landing in Melbourne, Florida instead of Melbourne, Austrailia. I'll bet that has happened more than once.

"I didn't notice the mistake as my son is usually good with computers," his mother, Sabine, told Reuters.
Well, that's the problem right there, her sentence should have been "I didn't notice the mistake as my son knows geography". Just another (by)product of today's education system, may that be here or Europe.

I talk to people. I chat to others while waiting for a city bus and certainly I would do so on an exciting trip clear across the world. I cannot imagine being around other passengers at the airport concourse and sitting next to one on the plane and not yapping about have you been to Australia before? Are you going to Australia for vacation? Etc., etc., etc.

Whenever I try to book a flight to Ontario Airport in California (close to where my mother lives) the computer keeps trying to send me to Ontario Canada.

I used to confuse India with Indiana, and Austria with Australia, not to mention Venice-Vienna-Vietnam (don't ask).
Was this guy any relation to Wrong-Way Corrigan?
