The time that the moon wil be the furthest from us is called an apogee. This distance is roughly 406,499km (252,587 miles) from earth, in contrast to it's closest point (called perigee) which is 356,410km (221,460 miles).
This site claims the apogee has passed by already... falling on September 08 2006 at 01:31:00 (UT+3).

Using the formulae published my Jean Meeus, I figure that the Moon is the farthest away on September 22 at 5:20 AM which is what your almanac says. However, that's UT (time at Greenwich, England) For pacific daylight time, that is 10:20 PM in the 21st.
