Home again

I'm back from a really grand vacation and hope to have some pictures loaded and ready to post soon but right now I'm still pondering crossing the International Date Line. On the way to Australian we left here on February 6 and arrived on Feb. 8 skipping Feb. 7. On the way home we flew out of Nadi, Figi at 1:30 am on Feb. 24, landed in Los Angeles at 4:30pm on Feb. 23, after flying back in time for 10 hours, flew on through another condensed night and arrived home at 11:30am on Feb. 24. I do understand the concept, really I do. We studied about this in elementary school but I still find it fascinating and exhausting. I'm just about over my jet lag now and will write more tomorrow.
