Will you cross international date line flying from nc to Kenya?

You can if you want to. Since the Earth is a sphere (ball-shaped), you can start out from anywhere, travel in any direction, and wind up anywhere. As a practical matter, when people know where they want to wind up, and their only reason for traveling is to get there, they'll ordinarily choose the shortest, least time-consuming route. From North Carolina to Kenya, that kind of route would NOT cross the International Dateline.


When one crosses the international date line the calendar day?

When you cross the IDL, you turn your calendar one whole day, either forward or backward depending on what direction you're traveling. If you're traveling westward, with the US behind you and Japan in front of you, turn your calendar forward a day when you cross the line, and skip 24 hours. If you're traveling eastward, with China behind you and Canada in front of you, turn your calendar back a day when you cross the line, and repeat the previous 24 hours.
