| A young British couple took off for their vacation in Australia and ended up in Sydney - Nova Scotia that is - because of a little glitch in their Internet ticket purchase. "I thought, 'oh my gosh, we're in Canada!'" 19-year-old Emma Nunn said Monday, standing beside Raoul Sebastian in sunny Sydney, northeast Canada, population 26,083. The problem, apparently, began in the clicking of boxes on the Internet site. I hate it when that happens to me. And I'll bet they don't even speak Canadian... |

| #2 They ought to thank their stars that they were trying to go to Sydney NSW in the Australian winter, and not in the Australian summer. Ending up in Sydney NS in the summer would be quite pleasant, but in the winter would be brutal with a summer wardrobe for Downunder. |

| #1 Sydney is a lovely town. It's quite near Halifax (where my girl-fiend comes from). I'd advise them to eat lots of lobster. The province is famous for it. Congratulations! You found my nation, all tucked away down there...(yes, that line is from "The Simpsons".) |
