Geography Fail ... Sydney


EdmPair

Recommended Posts

I was looking at TA trips on iCruise on the iPad with no real seriousness but spotted a 16 night on the Marina. Curious, to see where it went I pulled down the itinerary.

 

For those in the know, there is a small city in Nova Scotia, Canada called Sydney. I highly suspect some computer did not know this.

 

What fuel does this ship use? Tee hee.

While we're on the topic, you may enjoy this article about moronic, I mean, well, I'm not sure what I mean tourists who didn't quite understand that more than one city in the world has the same name!

Even if booked thru TA, they had to have missed dozens of clues this was wrong. Flight time to Canada and Australia is enough to tip ya off. Book a hotel and see a map. Or inquire how far the hotel is from the opera house? Many things should give you heads up. And if a travel agent is involved, something is even more wrong.
