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.
