Bummer.
I suppose there are a lot worse places they could have ended up.

LOL. Ah, too bad. At least they got to go on a holiday. I remember an article about a couple of tourists who flew to Sydney, Newfoundland when they thought they were flying to Sydney, Australia. Man, you gotta just do your research!!!

Sydney, Nova Scotia you mean, where you take the ferry for Newfoundland.
Anyway, getting there instead of Sydney, Australia, OMG, I would die !!!

I dunno. Both Kiwi's and Aussies are cool but Kiwi's have the better scenery.
