And now it's coming to the end of my second #JukeboxFridayNight in a row since I crossed the #InternationalDateline, here is "Big In Japan" by Alphaville for the theme #SurfingTheNewWave. I am choosing this song because it popped into my head out of apparent randomness. Feel free to assign any cosmic significance to this event of your choosing.

Unless you live in #NewZealand and take a break in #rarotonga on the other side of the #internationaldateline in which case EVERYTHING BREAKS. EVERYTHING

@betsyvr @2ck It's always cool to say you traveled to the future a whole day, which is true. 🙃

It can only happen near the #InternationalDateline. #LocationIsEverything #TimeTravel

@2ck Doable but it's about 4-5 hours nautical time out from land on both sides and the South Pacific Ocean can be rough at times.

However, you can celebrate the #NewYear twice within 24 hours. Start in #Samoa on #NewYearsEve, and then on New Year's Day take a short 30-minute plane hop across the #InternationalDateline to American Samoa, arriving on New Year's Eve (again), and ringing in the New Year again. So the first and last. I did it one year, it was fun and novel. #travel

Happy New Year #AmericanSamoa, finally you're with us in #Year2023. Manuia Le Tausaga Fou. 🥳🎉

And that ends New Year's Eve around the world after 24 hours, starting from #Samoa to ending in American Samoa. #InternationalDateline #HappyNewYear2023 #HappyNewYear #NewYearsDay

Crossed the border yesterday for the first time since COVID 2020. Flight took 30 minutes, also crossed the #InternationalDateline, arrived 24 hours ahead in the future. #AmericanSamoa #Samoa #travels #PacificOcean #SouthPacific

Today is the #December #Solstice, marking the start of #Winter in the #NorthernHemisphere and #Summer in the #SouthernHemisphere. It occurs when the #Sun is at its most southerly #zenith at midday. This year it is at about 21:48Z meaning that it will be somewhere precisely overhead in the southern #PacificOcean, but to the east of the #InternationalDateLine. It also means that the Sun will set at its most southerly bearing of the year tonight giving you either the longest night or longest day.

@avielroshwald It's already December . #InternationalDateline
