Drive me crazy to see a zig zag line on the side of the globe opposite Greenwich.

I left Perth, Western Australia around midnight on a Friday, flew to Sydney for the morning and then on to Hono - arriving just before 11pm Friday.

Believe me when I say I never bothered to look at my watch on those flights.

Alaska time is one hour behind Pacific Time, though its “natural” time zone would be more like two. The western Aleutians are an hour behind Alaskan time, though they should be two hours behind. I remember going to breakfast on Shemya at 5:00 AM during datelight savings time. It was about 2:00 AM solar time, but the wall clock said 5:00 AM. The only thing that could have made it more confusing was if we were a day ahead of CONUS.
