It is an imaginary line that is drawn through the Pacific Ocean where the calendar day begins. In your case, when traveling east, 24 hours is subtracted from the current time.
EX: If the local time just east of the line is 5:00 AM on July 11, 2011 the local time is 5:00AM on July 10, 2011
Hope this helps :)

∙ 10y agoIt's not essential to cross the IDL in order to get from Auckland to LA ... since
the Earth is spherical, you can head west from Auckland and reach LA eventually.
But it's certainly a shorter trip if you make it an easterly one and cross the line
on your way. When you do cross the line, leave the time on your wristwatch
alone, but turn the date back one day. That is, if the date reads June 13th as
you cross the IDL, change it to read June 12th.

∙ 10y agoIf you cross the International Dateline while traveling from Asia or Australia to
North or South America, that is, in an easterly direction, then the right thing
to do as you cross the line is to replace the last daily page you tore off of your
calendar, turn your calendar wrist watch back one day, reset the date in your
laptop to one day earlier, etc.

What is the significance of crossing the international Date Line when travelling Rarotonga to Auckland?
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.

What is unusual about the international date line?
Crossing the International Date Line travelling to the east results in a day or 24 hours being subtracted from your time prior to arriving at that position, so that the you have to repeat the date to the west of the line.
