It is good that no one of us has birthday on September 20 since that birthday would not have happened at all. Coming from Niue we are in the time zone UTC-11 hours. Here in Tonga the time zone is UTC+13 hours. The September 20, 2018 never happened on board of SuAn.
Here at the International Date Line things can become sometimes a little complicated and Yesterday and Tomorrow might be the same.
The islands Tonga and Samoa are about one hour by airplane apart. When you are in Tonga on a Friday, than it is yesterday, Thursday on Niue. So, this provides an opportunity for everyone who would like to celebrate his or her birthday twice: Start to celebrate the birthday in Tonga and than fly over to Niue. There you can celebrate your birthday the next day again.
