Day 1 (D-60) Our Long Journey /Time difference

Day 1  (D-60) Our Long Journey

D-1 = First day of the blog  /  (D-60) = 60 days before we leave

We'll fly from Geneva to Denver with a stop-over in New York.   A long journey: more or less, 8263 km...but only 5135 miles 😁!  As the crow flies.  We'll push the clocks back 8 hours from Central European Summer Time to Mountain Daylight Time.  So although it will be Tuesday 7 p.m. when we arrive in Denver, it will in fact be Wednesday, 3 o'clock in the morning for us. 😴 

There are four time zones in the United States:

Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Central Standard Time  (CST)

Mountain Standard Time (MST)

Pacific Standard Time (PST)  

BUT they all became DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME (DST) on March 10th, 2019.

Complicated? 😖 It's time to stop for today.⏰

My best,

Jane

The term “Daylight Savings Time” is very commonly used, especially in Australia, Canada, and the United States. Another term that is commonly used to refer to DST, particularly in places such as the United Kingdom, is  "Summer Time."  British Summer Time (BST) is the period in which DST is used in the United Kingdom. The term “winter time” is used for standard time...like in France!
