(I am going east) i gain time, but once I fly over the international dateline, it is the next day and I lose a day! My brain will not compute how this works. I do understand that there are 24 time zones, but to totally change to the next day confuses me. I also understand that eventually the day will change, but the way I understand it, it not only changes to the next day, but several hours later into the next day. Help!
Also to help you explain this to me--I am leaving at 9:30 AM on one day, flying into Hawaii for a gas fill up (no layover) and then flying 11 more hours to Guam. I arrive there (Guam time) at 6:20 PM the next day!!
Thank you for your help.

you have it right, just remember that when you fly back you 'regain' the day you lost.
so if you leave Guam at 8 AM on Tuesday, you might land in Hawaii at 6PM on Monday.

If you are flying from Hawaii to Guam you will be traveling West, not East. No wonder you're confused.
