When going to Washington d.c. from wake island which way do you cross the international date line?

Since the Earth is nearly spherical (ball-shaped), you can head out of Wake in either
direction and wind up in Washington.
The shortest possible trip is 6,700 miles, taking off toward the northeast from Wake
and maintaining that heading all the way. You cross the 180th meridian about 1,135
miles out, flying from west to east, and turn your clock/calendar back 1 day/24 hrs.
(That's not necessarily the exact location of the date line at that point over the Pacific,
but while you're in flight, who cares! You'll be on the right date when you land.)

How do you change your watch and calendar when you cross the international date line going west?
Going west, you must tear the current day off of your calendar and dispose of it when you cross the IDL. Immediately as you cross, the date becomes one day later. It's not necessary to do anything to your watch, unless it's a calendar watch. If it is, then you do whatever you must in order to make it indicate one day later, but you make no change to the time.

Do the international date line double the day?
If you cross it going away from the US towards Japan, you're robbed of 24 hours and you don't get them at all. If you cross it going from Japan towards the US, you get to live the previous 24 hours all over again. If you cross the line twice in opposite directions, then it all cancels out. It's a lot like changing your clocks to daylight savings time and then back to standard time, only the change is 24 times as much.
