About a year ago, I highlighted a traveling misadventure that was pretty epic in its stupidity. Today, I get to revisit that story, thanks to yet another mixup with the two Sydneys.

Last year's article was the result of ignorance on the part of the traveler. This time around, it seems like the onus is on Air Canada for the mix-up. It sounds like they booked hotel rooms in the wrong Sydney for the travelers. I've traveled Air Canada enough in my time to not put it past them to make a mistake like that. So, congratulations, Air Canada, you get today's /facepalm Award for Geographical Ignorance. That's not a very prestigious award for anyone to win, but it goes doubly for an airline.
