Tell your International Date Line crossing stories!
Please! I really enjoy my Dad’s stories from the navy about it. I’ve only crossed once, westbound on my way to Australia. I’m looking forward to visiting America this year and crossing the other way, eastbound.

Today is the anniversary of the day that I completely lost when I crossed that line westbound. My missing day. Left Los Angeles at 10:00 pm and arrived in Australia after 16 hours at 8am 2 days later. Oh and for all you flat earthers how did I have a 15 hour night over an ocean?

When I go back to the states I will get to repeat a day, I’ll get my missing day back! Was dreaming about it just before I woke up and In the dream I spent my day driving around LA, buying a sh*t load of stuff from 7-11, and chatting with the locals on my way to San Pedro.

When and where did you cross the line and which direction? How did you feel about losing or gaining an entire day?

I found 2 threads:

Re: Tell your International Date Line crossing stories!
Ok ok I’ll tell a brief summary of my Dad’s story, on a ship in the navy back in the day he crossed the line both ways. First was westbound and they all had to work double shifts with no breaks and no sleeping since they lost a whole day. On the way back, eastbound, they stopped in the middle of the ocean and partied and barbecued and drank beer for a whole day!

haha

I do not care for the equatorial crossing stories where those who are first time crossers get abused and treated like sea turtles

Yep! I’m an avid window watcher in a plane and I watched that darn sun set in LA before we started chasing after it in the airbus. The journey proved ball earth for me, unequivocally. Then the whole everything in the sky is upside down and half the sky is totally unfamiliar constellations confirmed it.

Its in situations like this you realize time is just an artificial construct and has no meaning. The only boundaries is your ability to stay awake or not.

You can experience the same thing in the US by simply staying in Las Vegas for about 3 days...your drinking booze at 6am, eating breakfast at 11pm, as long as you dont go outside, or open the shades in your room, you have no concept of time, it doesn't matter!
