He was in the air several hours before he realized he was on his way to Auckland...New Zealand.And then there was the French woman who wanted to see the brightly colored fall foliage in New England, in the USA. So she went to a travel agent in Paris to arrange a trip to New Hampshire. The travel agent misunderstood, and instead arranged a trip to...well, the woman found herself in Hampshire, England.
