My MIL from Canada is in NZ at the mo, staying 2 months in total and I am to accompany her back to Los Angeles.
Now the problem is that my wife in her infinite wisdom scheduled me to fly back to L.A. on Feb.19th at 7:30pm and arrive L.A. at 10:25 am PST.
The flight is about 12.5 hours

Now we are 21 hours ahead of PST and Daytona is 3 hours ahead of that.

I always find this confusing but am I able to watch the 500 before I leave "Live".
That is you mission should you wish to accept it.........

The question is, Clutch, which 19th are you talking about? If it is the 19th in Aukland, it'll be the 20th in Daytona, the day after the race. If it is the 19th in LA, then you might catch about half the race after you collect your bags (providing the airlines and TSA, in their infinate wisdom, having sent them to Hamburg, by mistake.

I think I have that right, but it's been ages since I've crosses the Int'l Date Line. However, I believe that if you travel west you lose a day, but if you travel east you gain. I believe that I have that right?

Now I'm confused.

No the 19th in Auckland is the 18th in Daytona.

Just looked up the race time and it says 3.15 pm ET on the 18th

Now take off 6 hours and add a day......which makes it 9.15am on the 19th here....and my plane dont leave til 7:30 pm

I easily concede to your knowledge. I will admit that the entire concept of the International Date Line confuses the snot out of me.
