Birmingham To Get Unlikely Visitors
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – A British couple who mistook Birmingham, Alabama for Birmingham, England when booking a trip to Las Vegas a few months ago will get to see the Alabama version for themselves on Aug. 16-17.
Al.com reports (http://bit.ly/28OVwEW) that Richella Heekin and Ben Marlow will spend a day and a half in the Alabama city after spending a week in Las Vegas.
Heekin had mistakenly booked a surprise trip to Las Vegas for her boyfriend’s 30th out of the Birmingham, Alabama airport instead of the one in England.
After learning of the mistake, Richard Branson-owned Virgin Holidays said it would pick up the tab for the couple’s airfare and five nights of accommodations in Las Vegas.
