A lost tourist who thought Maine was San Francisco
I lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (eh?) for 23 years and we have similar stories.<p>There is an island that is part of Nova Scotia called Cape Breton with a city named Sydney (so Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada) with population of ~30K. Every few years we get a tourist that confuses that with Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.<p>They generally realize something is wrong when they switch planes in Halifax from a Jet (Boeing 737, Airbus 320, etc) to a 19 person turboprop for the last few hundred kilometers to Sydney.<p><i>News Articles:</i><p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2172858.stm" rel="nofollow">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2172858.stm</a><p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/italian-tourists-end-up-in-wrong-sydney-1.975605" rel="nofollow">https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/italian-tourists-...</a><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/31/teen-accidentally-flies-to-sydney-nova-scotia-australia" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/31/teen-accidenta...</a><p><i>Wikipedia Link:</i><p>Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney,_Nova_Scotia" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney,_Nova_Scotia</a><p>Sydney, New South Wales, Australia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney</a>
