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 eitherdirection and wind up in Washington.The shortest possible trip is 6,700 miles, taking off toward the northeast from Wakeand maintaining that heading all the way. You cross the 180th meridian about 1,135miles 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.)
