This is going to be interesting. Let’s say my flight starts on day 1. I fly from Yap (in the Federated States of Micronesia) to Guam and arrive a full day after I leave (on day 2, 25.5 hours later in calendar time). I spend the night in Guam, and wake up on day 3. Then, I fly from Guam to Honolulu and lose 2 calendar days, arriving back in time on day 1. After a short layover, I get on a plane to New York from Honolulu, and arrive the next morning, on day 2.
Entering this itinerary into my travel calendar was not easy.
I’m surprised you haven’t found some kind of calendar program that handles hyper-trans-time-zone travel elegantly. Does not such a beast exist?
P.S. For some reason, even though I’m logged in at your front page, I’m no longer logged in when viewing a single post. Don’t think it’s a problem with my browser/cookies…
Masochist!
Dave - you do realize why I am being forced to fly directly from Yap to New York, right? :)
Okay, nix that. Now it’s working just fine.
