Alaska Airline: Siberia, Russia Part 2 - Where Are We and What Day Is It?

Standing in the airport in San Diego, I began to wonder exactly, Alaska Airline, how long it takes to get to the city of Chita, Siberia. Combination of vodka hangover, three planes, a train and go to the international date line does not help. At first glance, it appears that a total of two days, was not a bad move through earth.I requires greater attention in math.The route to go from San Diego to Chita, reads as follows: 1. The flight from San Diego to Seattle.2. The representative of charities and other professor.



3 Meet. The flight from Seattle to Anchorage.4. Aeroflot flies from Anchorage to [drink] for Khabarovsk, Russia.5. Take the train from Khabarovsk to Chita.How bad could it be? Very, very, very bad.

Yes, we flew to Alaska Airlines. Waiting for our connection in Anchorage, two thoughts kept running though my head.



First, the airline Aeroflot, all the accidents? Secondly, as a man from Kentucky, is fluent in Russian? I mean, what about his accent? I felt less sure of my translator and decided to investigate.
