What Time is it Really?

Tip to reduce jet lag- set your watch for your destination when you board the plane.  Yesterday, when we left Philadelphia, I first set my watch to Colorado time.  We had a 2 hour layover and I would need to know the “real” time while waiting for the next flight (painful to be in Denver, by the way, and not see our son and his family- they live a few hours from the airport in the mountains- I waived from the airplane window as we flew over the Rockies!)

Anyway, just before the 2nd flight, I was setting my watch again for California time.  A bit of hesitation here…am I going 1 hour ahead or back?  What time is it now in New Jersey? 

  Arrived to our destination last night in time to see the full moon over Monterey Bay- very beautiful.  Staying in a charming home in Capitola, and we are anxious to explore the area. 

It’s Wednesday morning and still dark- up very early because, although it’s 5am here…it’s REALLY 8am…I think  :)
