RF to US
In mid 1999 we had booked a flight on a tiny Alaskan bi-plane or something from Chukotka to Nome but could not reach Chukotka 'cos of the rouble crisis and no transport. But we improvised and got a flight from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskaya to Anchorage on a small Alaskan jet with fewer passengers than hostesses (post rouble crisis) so we were asked the whole trip if we wanted to eat, drink etc!!! We saw an awful lot of volcanos very close-up! And over-consumed, so it was bad when arriving at Anchorage near midnight to have to eat all our 'expensive' Russian fruit to prevent confiscation!
