Ever had that feeling that the day is longer than usual? Well my Saturday is actually going to be 45 hours long!

#InternationalDateLine

From Kiribati’s Kiritimati Island to remote Pacific territories, geography and time zones decide who welcomes the New Year first — and who waits the longest. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/lifestyle/new-year-2026-first-last-celebrations-dn7wkqrw?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #NewYear #TimeZones #Kiribati #InternationalDateLine #GlobalCountdown

@hacks4pancakes Since you will be a day ahead of us, please let us know how things are going to go tommrow. #internationaldateline
Thanks to #JohnElledge’s book, I have learned that at some times of day, it’s simultaneously yesterday, today and tomorrow. It’s all to do with the way the #InternationalDateLine wiggles around. The book is “A Brief History of the World in 47 Borders”

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.

Time Travelling

@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
