😂🤣🤣 Just one time? Turns out there’s more than one rue de blahblahblah (great address) in every state in the U.S. as well. I’ve done that in my native language more than once! To get even more confusing there is Charleston, SC and Charleston, WV as well as Charles Town, WV… but the best way to get well and truly lost is to believe Drew when he says ‘no, I don’t need directions, I know where I’m going which is how we ended up almost in NM when traveling to Crested Butte from Boulder, CO.
Makes me feel better that "even seasoned travelers" as yourself, can make this goof. SImiler, it is wise to always verify with ones Uber driver which airport your departure flight is leaving from. Instead, husband falls immediatly back to sleep in the Uber car, I only half hearted look out the window, not making sense of the fact that I keep seeing signs for "Alicante", when our flights were leaving out of Valencia! It was only when our scanned tickets would not let us through the gate, when the kind airport employee, pointed out "you are at the Alicante airport, your flight is scheduled to depart Vlaencia".... opps
Driving north in California from Anaheim/ Los Angeles, I (several times) instructed my husband to NOT go through Bakersfield because that was the longer route. Then I feel asleep... and woke up in Bakersfield. He cannot live it down, ever. That was in 1990, before GPS and cell phones. We were quite late in arriving at my cousin's home that night.
About 15 years ago on the DelMarVa peninsula, our GPS instructed us to drive on the Ocean City boardwalk. This was after it freaked out because it believed we were driving on the water headed to Chincoteague. 🙄

As my stories show, we make plenty of mistakes, even though we've traveled a lot. I will say, we've never gone to the wrong airport though...
