International Dateline ...the first November 22nd

Alright, so I finally understand the whole International Dateline time change thing. Right now, it is 2:30pm Saturday afternoon, November 22nd. On the east coast, it is 10:30pm Friday night, November 21st. We are 16 hours ahead. Tomorrow, for us it will again be Saturday, November 22nd. When it is noon here, on the east coast it will be 8pm Saturday evening, November 22nd. So now the east coast will be 8 hours ahead. To make up for the difference, as we continue going east after Hawaii, we will lose an hour until we reach the same time as the east coast when we land in Miami, Florida. To me this is very complicated, but it makes up the whole 24 hour spectrum - so there you have it.

Tomorrow is the charity auction that we are running for Students of Service so hopefully it goes well! ...And no classes :)
