During the course of that trip, you cross the Dateline going west. Whenever one crosses the Dateline going west, he leaves the time on his clock unchanged, but he advances his calendar one day. That is, if his calendar reads July 24, he cranks it ahead to July 25.
The significance of crossing over and nondisjunction is that it increases biodiversity. This is important for the environment and food chains.
Traveling from Auckland to Los Angeles, you will turn your watch back 24 hours, andtake the last page you tore off of your calendar and glue it back on, allowing you tolive the same date all over again. You will most likely not make the same mistakesagain, but will have the opportunity to make new ones.
Since the Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), you can head out of Rarotonga in either direction, either east or west, and eventually wind up in Auckland. The trip is quite a bit shorter, though, if you travel westward, and that will take you across the International Date Line. At the moment of crossing the line, the right things to do are to advance your calendar by one day, and turn your clock ahead 24 hours. For example, if it happens to be 3:00 PM on Tuesday, then it becomes 3:00 PM on Wednesday when you cross the line. In reality, there's no need to make the adjustment exactly as you cross the line. Passengers typically make the change when they board the ship or plane, or when they disembark at the end of the trip. As long as you're actually at sea or in the air, it really doesn't matter much what day it is.
The specific origin and destination locations are irrelevant. The only fact that matters is in which direction you're traveling when you cross the Date Line. If towards the west, as when traveling from the Cook Islands to New Zealand, then you're to add one day to the date on your calendar or your wristwatch. Thus, your time has suddenly become 24 hours later than it was a moment ago. In effect, you've 'lost' a day.
NZ002 leaves Auckland at 22:30 and arrives in London Heathrow at 11.00am (1 day later due to crossing the international date line).

Because they have been wearing the same ones since they left San Francisco, and 180° seems like a good round location for a community change-over.
