Day 15: Time Travel Mar 05

It’s easy to lose track of time while you are relaxing on vacation. Hey, what day is it?

The International Date Line runs through the island of Taveuni in Fiji. I know this is a confusing concept to many people who depart from Los Angeles on Thursday night and arrive in Fiji on Saturday morning. The flight is really only 10 hours. You “lose” Friday but “gain” it on the return flight,  often arriving back before you even left.

Anyway, don’t tax your brain over time zones and the earth’s rotation. Just for fun, you can travel to this site and have your picture taken with literally one foot in each day – yesterday and today.

By the way, this was the site of quite a few celebrations on the Millenium New Year.
Party like it’s 1999, I mean 2000! I’ll be curious to see what’s planned for year 2020.
