We are pretty sure that the reason for crossing date lines is to confuse you so badly that you don’t know how long you are sitting in airplanes. Actually, KLM/Royal Dutch Airlines, treats you remarkably well. They actually feed you and give you a great many choices of movies and electronic games in the screens on the seat backs.
But the real star of the show on travel day was the monorail at the Newark Airport. The end of the line is fascinating and we watched how they reverse train directions for quite a while. The video shown here is not mine and I adapted it from another. Unfortunately, this great monorail is due to be taken down and replaced by a more modern system in the near future. You might want to watch it twice to figure out what’s going on. Hint: there are two trains in this video.
